I watched Arrowhead the other night where Charlton Heston plays the good guy scout and Jack Palance plays the bad guy Apache and it was amazing to me how much I have changed how I saw it. Before it was just cut and dried-- hero villain. Now I see it that both men were doing what was required to try and save their own cultures. They fought how they could fight and eventually one had to win. The same thing was true with the first settlers here. Nice guys or bad, they wanted the land that someone else lived upon. Sometimes our nation did it by fighting and sometimes sneakily but I just see it differently for how the people felt and what they were doing. <br /><br />Today we face the same basic thing with trying to protect our way of life and we may lose or win but we will have to fight to get it right because someone else always comes along who is going to take it from us if they can and sometimes it's our own people.<br /><br />Recently we were talking in a group about different ideas and I heard something I had never heard before. Someone said they had heard a relative saying black people were evolved right here on earth and white people came in on space ships. That's what we are dealing with today for how differently this one country sees things. Kind of amazing isn't it!<br /><br />Of course, if it was true *wink* then the earth belongs to people of color and whites are the intruders who must be pushed out...Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
