Wake up, CJ. Find the hurt little boy inside yourself and get some help. I'm sure it must be hell for you going through life with so much hate and anger inside. He's Mormon and so probably still a little upset that his people never did get paid for digging that tunnel on the first transcontinental railroad. BTW, I've got myself a skinny little kid inside me. He's all the time yelling I'm hungry, eat something, now!! Talk about demonic possession. Mmm, ice cream, newsgroups, and up past bedtime (...see what I mean) Montblack |

I want reparations right now! Now that I think on it, I want reparations for the nine homes my ancestors were burned out of or were seized by mobs protected by the governments of New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. I want reparations for those tarred and feathered in those places, for those who were whipped and beaten, and for those who were killed at Hahn's Mill in Missouri. I want reparations for those who died while fleeing, virtually naked, across the plains of Nebraska and Iowa in the dead of winter while pursued by forces of the Federal government and militia from Illinois and Missouri -- even while others were being forced to fight for those same governments in their illegal war with Mexico. I want compensation for Fort Bridger and other supply centers burned to the ground by the Federal government or which were destroyed when President Johnston sent an army against my ancestors to quell a rebellion that did not exist. I want reparations for homes and property seized by the Federal government in Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, including thousands of head of cattle. I want reparations for those ancestors who were disenfranchised on account of their religious beliefs, forbidden to vote because of what they believed, not what they practiced. I want reparations for the gold stolen by illegal squatters after my ancestors discovered it at Sutter's Mill and other places in California, and reparations for the property that was stolen by prospectors who just helped themselves to whatever they wanted on their way to those gold fields, for the women they raped, and for the homes, wagons, horses, and other property they destroyed. I want reparations for the modern buildings that are still being vandalized and destroyed by thugs, for the cost of defending our rights to build churches and temples being obstructed by corrupt government officials, and for the physical threats, violence, and harassment we put up with today. I want reparations for the hate and lies published in vicious tracts and pamphlets sold in so-called Christian bookstores to this very day. On the other hand, I really don't want reparations for any of this stuff. It is tainted money and I would not soil my hands with it. Maybe I get a little sarcastic and sensitive when people start criticizing religious belief or even, as some here have suggested, that maybe a little genocide will solve all the world's problems. Maybe I have my reasons. |

You overlooked this: http://frank.kirkman.com/MMM/reopeni...rdemystery.htm You're. I want reparations for the perpetuation of this slander, too. The actual history of the Mountain Meadows massacre is that a bunch of Missourians headed to the California gold fields tried to cross southern Utah in the middle of a drought. Brigham Young had tried to persuade them to take the safer northern route but they were in a hurry (odd behavior for a man supposed to be trying to kill them, but conspiracy theorists were never known for their logic). The Missourians, who bragged about their treatment of the 'Mormons' in Missouri, quickly ran out of supplies and resorted to stealing what they needed from local settlers and Indians, most of whom were on the point of starvation themselves. They killed several Indians in cold blood and stole their horses, enraging the local Utes and Paiutes. All the while they bragged about their murders and how they were going to rape women, etc. The band was finally attacked by Indians who surrounded the wagon train. Local settlers, not all of them Mormons, negotiated a cease-fire and then treacherously slaughtered all the adult members of the group, despite pleas from Church leaders, including Brigham Young, to let them go. While the behavior of the local settlers was out and out murder, you have to wonder just how much any group that was as isolated, persecuted, and hounded as they were by these people is supposed to take. The perpetrators of the massacre were tried and convicted and some of them were hanged, which is far more justice than the mobbers in Missouri and Illinois ever got. |

Hmmm, your version is distinctly at odds with this one found at http://www.utlm.org/onlinebooks/meadows3.htm Brigham Young is not even mentioned as being present. Corky Scott |

I want to reward them. But they didn't do a thorough enough job.

Actually, the books are not being abused at all.

The blame lies with the faithful who are willing to suspend rational thought and be lead to irrational acts as puppets of those disenfranchised despots terrified of their loss of power in a globalized world. As long as there are ready supplies of illiterate, hungry, desperate people, there will be those eager to exploit them as tools to operate the weapons greedy dealers supply against humanity in the vaine hope of gaining influence in their destaines. Until the world's people truly embrace the principle of "turn the other cheak", the destablizing policy of "an eye for an eye" will inexorably tend toward escalation of hostility among men. |
