Something to Think About

Here is a quote from Mark Twain that I had never had the pleasure of reading before. Written over 100 years ago, it appears to be a thought that we never get a chance to think about while confronted with the every day censorship of political correctness:

"All the territorial possessions of all the political establishments in the earth--including America, of course--consist of pilferings from other people's wash. No tribe, however insignificant, and no nation, howsoever mighty, occupies a foot of land that was not stolen. When the English, the French, and the Spaniards reached America, the Indian tribes had been raiding each other's territorial clothes-lines for ages, and every acre of ground in the continent had been stolen and restolen 500 times."
