How did the occupation of Alcatraz Island work out?
How much did the Hippie demonstrations shorten the Vietnam War?
What did the politicians do to end the Pullman strike?
Have the Occupy Wall Street protesters ever heard of the Ludlow Massacre?
Is it true that the politicians in Washington (AKA "the Great White Father") ultimately broke every treaty they ever signed with the various Native American groups? Is it true that the only tribe who was never betrayed by such a duplicitous agreement was the Nez Pierce who were exterminated before they ever signed any treaty?
While perusing a copy of "Geronimo his own story" (the Ballantine Books 1970 paperback edition was edited by S. M. Barrett), we learned that the Chiricahua Apache under Geronimo (who led a splinter faction tribe after Cochise surrendered) led a nomadic existence that was comprised mostly of stealing and waging war. Wouldn't Geronimo feel right at home at the 2012 Republican National Convention?
Would a corrupt but compassionate Republican Christian have stolen Geronimo's skull from Fort Sill and used it as a shrine to remind like minded associates of a commitment to a life of stealing and waging war?
We wish the demonstrators all the luck in the world. Don't sign any agreements without reading them fully first.
