TJ, you need to think more precisely about meanings. When somebody sells something, it has been sold. The agreement can't be abrogated by generations later. I was referring to ongoing commitments to pay money or other things such as tribute. You can't commit other people to do things generations hence. I know the difference is infinitely subtle for some to grasp. Take a second or two before instantly responding and I'm sure you'll grasp the difference. So, Maoris can't just get "their" land back which an ancestor sold 100 years ago. Just as I can't get the house back which my parents sold a few decades ago. But I don't have to pay the occupants of that house a dole even if my parents did agree to pay them said dole forever. Maoris can't just vote me to go away. That's not democratic. The Winn tribe can't vote the people out of the house our ancestors sold. Can you really not see the difference? Mqurice
