odb, Smallpox in Indian Agent blankets was our number 1 gift. The Spanish gave the same gift to the Aztecs. I always thought it was cool that we told them that if they were baptized and became civilized, that we would treat them like Americans. Some did. Then we killed them and stole their land, anyway. And Saddam never came close to breaking as many treaties as we did. But our nation was young and feisty back then.

No wonder they rip me off at the damned casinos. <G>
