"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Canada Apologizes to Indians
"The government of Canada has formally apologized to native Canadians for forcing about 150,000 native children into government-financed residential schools where many suffered physical and sexual abuse....[it] was part of a broad, court-sanctioned settlement with the government and the church organizations that operated most of the schools." Eh? Which church was that? "The policy of the Canadian residential schools wasn't to educate Indian children. It was to kill the Indian in the child, it was to erase the culture of Indian people from the fabric of Canada." (Editor's pick)
