(Tongue half-firmly in cheek)
Sometimes, reading this board and others, it reminds me of how we sit on the Rez and watch the world, and wonder how folks make it across that big ocean in 1492 without killing each other.

Hey there RS;
They made it to these shores without killing eachother because they had a LOT more in common than a hobby .

I’d rather be in Wyoming!
United we sail, divided we sink!
IMHO, it’s called a community…as Mark said…that’s a group with a common goal and/or ideal.

All the ice cream you can eat and movies every night on the fantail kept the moral up.
One reason some of “my people” made it here in one piece is that if they did not, they had the inquisition waiting for them back in good ol’ Spain. 1492 was not a good year for us and that was plenty of motivation to behave nicely.
The results of our trip did leave something to be desired. Apologies extended!
jed
RS, ahhh, some of them probably did…
Spelling and Grammar not subject to judgement… 
I’ll bet they didn’t talk about religion!
As Jed pointed out, at that time saying something the church didn’t like could get you in big trouble, maybe killed!

Help me out here. What is it exactly that you are apologizing for?
anglerdave,
Disco first, then rap music.

AD,
The invasion and take over of a small piece of land (this continent)

Jed, that was your ancestors??? You should be ashamed. Mine were Lithanian immigrants that didn’t come over until the early 1900s, escaping the cossocks. The were hard working, god fearing people, and I don’t think they took land from anyone.
no, a robe! the czar was making them wear really tacky robes, and their fashion sense just couldn’t take it!!!
you’re right–i was trying to say i just don’t do the collective guilt thing…
So Jed it was your ancestors that did all that? Shame on you. ‘A plague on both your houses.’
My dad immigrated to this country in 1925. By the time he got here things were pretty much screwed up. That I attribute to my mother’s side of the family who came here during the war for independence(on the wrong side) and stayed afterward. But they never left PA as far as I can tell.
I think Roger has it right. We need to apologize for disco and rap music and nothing else.
adave;
I think there are a lot more things to apologize for:
Backstreet boys
Reality TV
MTV
the 80s in general
and probably many more things that I am forgetting.
Don
Roger & Don,
I agree completely!..disco=YUCK!
Let’s add:
“Doing” lunch…no thanks, I’ll just eat mine!
Mike
No “collective guilt trip” intended! Just an observation “from the other side” so to speak.
Please, guys, remember, this is all tongue in cheek! I don’t expect anybody to feel guilty about ANYTHING!
Except maybe disco and rap…and that whole grunge thing kinda sucked, too.

I dunno, I’m getting sorta tired of all the reality shows too. And another thing, I get upset when somebody walks their dog in the park and conviently seems to have forgotten a bag to pick up said dog’s leavings.
But, the sun is shining today (doesn’t it always shine in AZ?) so I guess I really don’t have any valid complaints afterall.
Snow on the roof but with fire still in the hearth
Dave Micus is Boston’s King of Bling. For that he should apologize.
