"Hispanics listed as fallen at the Alamo, there were none fallen in that grand struggle." Does that mean that John Wayne and the boys never got the bad guys? Sheesh, what a bummer. To keep this on topic, that movie sure was a Golden oldie. (gg) Cheers,

Yes Cortés could be considered an anglo, he certainly had arrogance up to here didn't he ... and, passed himself off in his quest for power as a representative of an IMF predecessor, the romish church, which while based on the other side of the pond and speaking another tongue makes a reasonable simile ... and he definitely did his share of starving people, working them to death, burnt lots at the stake for 'heresy' too [you'd stay on-topic if C was running the board, i tell ya] ... right up there with any of that slaver scum who moved on Tejas from Louisiana, sure Just Tejas eh, well fine - perhaps you could fill us in on what code of morality you use to justify the yanqui breaking of committments made in the original grant to old Moses Austin ... huh ... really onerous stuff, like resident had to obey the law, pay the most minimal taxes, and deliver up their thieves and murderers to constituted authority ... it was only when the invaders made plain their intentions and started importing hordes of rabble from the land they'd stolen to the north and east that the heavy influx was made illegal, and for clear good reason There was absolutely no justification whatsoever - anglos wanted more land, there were more of them than of natives at the time, so they killed enough people to take it ... that's that ... your stand to which i originally replied, to the effect that some of the filthy thieves getting rightfully snuffed in the course of their crimes was justification for their descendants to keep forever the land of others, well do you figure that should apply to Hitler's casualties in his march on Paris, or at Stalingrad - should from the Atlantic to the Volga be forever german empire? ... likely Hitler would agree with you, but the problem with your theory is that the french and ucranians are not going to like that very much Homework for ya - first part, find the document from which came the following, its date, and its author - '1ro. Que todos los dueños de esclavos deberán darles la libertad, dentro del término de diez días, so pena de muerte.' Second part - explore in depth how this most basic tenet of mexicana law, regarded as law and enforced long before being made official, might have conflicted with the desires of the hordes pouring into México with all those negros, looking for land on which to get rich quick working them to grow cotton Then tomorrow we'll deal with whether the failure of the anglos to tell you this falls under the definition of 'lie'.
