The indians sold the island of Mannahatta for 24 dollars worth of beads.

And many people bought little ounces of shiny metal at $1000 a pop and saw that it is only worth half of that years later.

The Indians getting $24 for nothing is better than just waiting to get kicked off the land by the invaders. That $24 dollar investment really paid off, there are hundreds of Indian casinos now.

Are you implying that Americans will have hundreds of casinos too?
