JUST TAKING

A good friend of mine, mentioned that he in general agrees with the cartoon's message that there might an imbalance in current day income distribution, but that the cartoon implies that the wealthy if you will are just takers.

I deal with words all the time and was thinking how words have short , long and forgotten meaning depending upon who uses them and who reads them.

Let me get to the point.

Let's concede that the 13 colonies were acquired legally and not be terrorist war, multiple trails of tears, human being eradication and torture and greed.

How did the rest of America come into existence if not by some one taking it?

How was the human stock and black gold imported if not by taking.

Even after the taking, we still had do deal with being on Wounded Knee and seeking mercy.

As you watch perhaps your favorite DC national football team. maybe they could change the name from the "redskins" which as you know is very , very nasty pejorative, to the Washington TAKERS !
