Picara, you really said it all! While I was traveling I thought through some of my complaints (and disapointment, frankly) with the stance Anaya has chosen to take. You have pretty much nailed it down though! It seems to me that if we are going to get anywhere as a society of diverse groups we are going to have to stop picking at 500 year old sores and start directing our energies towards solving our REAL problems. Thanks for your post!
