<<<Bilow, you are right, but only partly: < People have been moving from one land to another, and have been accepted, for as long as the human race has existed.> >>> A rather profound statement by Carl....Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Needs some thought. Like Hernando De Soto in Florida, perhaps? The Germans at Stalingrad? The Russians in Berlin? << The horses were finally disembarked with the other livestock onto Cape Haze.On the night of May 30th (on the tides, as we now realize), DeSoto's guards sailed up to the head of the harbor and Ucita was taken in a dawn raid . The Indians, having been aware of the ships for nearly a week, had fled, much to DeSoto's disappointment. His style of capturing the chief and enslaving the citizens had been thwarted by delay. Hostages were not to be taken en masse from Ucita, setting off a series of mishaps which would disrupt the campaign for months. Without forced labor, the men would have to perform all the menial tasks associated with landing and carrying supplies overland on their departure, and the transport captains would get but few captives to take with them. >>>

Hi Maurice Winn; Re: "Bilow, you are right, but only partly: "People have been moving from one land to another, and have been accepted, for as long as the human race has existed." It goes back to chimpoid days and actually a lot longer than that." I don't count chimpoids as "humans" or "people". The expression "I'll be a monkey's uncle" is a figure of speech only. So I'll stand by by my statement that for as long as humans have existed, they've been accepted as immigrants to new lands (note difference between immigrants and invaders). -- Carl
