Squatters Rights







We can now look back with hindsight on the events of May 1st. For myself, looking back is to revisit seething anger. Betwixt the American and Mexican flags were the "This is our land" and "This Land Was Stolen" ad infinitum posters.

This declarative begs a question or two. The land was stolen by whom, when, and it it belonged to which group (not those on the streets of Chicago or LA).
If we were to follow this particular vein of thinking, pray tell, where would these people be sneaking into then - not Canada, because that particular piece of geography was stolen from the Mohawks, Aleuts, etc.

Wait! Which groups came from the southwest US? Perhaps those claiming aboriginal rights did not hail from there in the first place. For instance, perhaps those coming from Ecuador should be invading Peru?
Then there is the whole percentage bit. How much Spaniard blood is acceptable? Listening to the rhetoric of boycott organizer Javier Rodriguez, the United States and Europeans committed genocide and have been parasites. Hmmm.
This is an extension of "We Are America?"

We cannot forget all of the sympathetic "Hate Bush" crowd. No protest is complete without them
Mixed messages? Not at all. I got the message loud and clear.
