Indians were locked in the stone age. I don’t care why, any more than I care why the Australian aborigines were. It’s simply a fact, which, if actually understood, makes the article transparently absurd. Indians were always living on the edge of starvation. There were never more that one million or so Pre-Columbianindians living north of the Rio Grande.

Cleopatra was a Ptolemy. She was ethnically a Greek descended from the family of one of Alexander’s generals.

AND, you are puzzling through the “sharks” claim? Doesn’t anyone here have a memory? Congressman Major Owens from New York said that “200 million slaves were lost [during the slave trade years] being transported from Africa, and that sharks today still swim that route” in a special orders speech in the House about 11 years ago. The claim is stupid on its face, and many writers pointed out at the time how absurd the statement was.

Once you decide you don’t care then your opinion no longer matters. You just told me you’ve copped a position and making noise and it’s opinion based not fact based. I don’t care about opinions, especially from somebody that just announced they have no facts.
