On: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Ending Poverty

That is not part of the history, nor is does it jive with some of the ongoing land claim. Changing wording and trying to convince people that something that didn't happen did does nothing except base your leadership and cause in a lie. Changing perception is only a good thing when it brings you closer to the truth of a situation, not clouds future decisions in more fog.

The point is that it is in fact a part of the history.

Perhaps only nominally so originally, but that doesn't mean it can't be used to advantage now.

Denying the truth doesn't motivate or cause cohesion. A vision of a brighter future with opportunity and prosperity does.

No, the interpretation of the word reservation was not the historical meaning. Changing words to mean more pleasing things is still not telling the truth.

This is tangent to my arguments against using the new term "differently enabled" as opposed to "disabled". "Disabled" indicates that there is a problem that society needs to spend some resources on to correct and fix. "Differently enabled" is some politically correct term that seems to mask a problem and make people feel ok when they shouldn't.

No, it isn't. Native Americans didn't pick the land that they were sent.

In your terms, that land was reserved for them. It was NOT reserved by them.
