    Maybe back then people could have a good faith discussion without having to decide if the other person was a supporter of genocide. Like I said, different world, different people.

      Please don’t misunderstand I never meant you were supporting genocide. What I meant was the framers had in their mind genocide when the constitution was made.

      George Washington was a prospector and his motivation, in part if not whole, was the British restriction against surveying and annexing Indian lands.
