The liberal and PC myth that states with rabid fanaticism that the Native Americans lived in a Shangri-La, untouched till the eeeeeeevil Christopher Columbus showed up seems to be rubbing thin.

Wasn't it Columbus who destroyed all the Indian's television stations.

They would rather keep the idea that the Native Americans were illiterate savages, incapable of civilized behavior.

Well, let's face it, when we got here they were living in animal skin huts, fighting each other with sticks and rocks, worshiping animals, and smoking dope. Is that disputed?
