In my memory, it's more like... "remember the Alamo" type thing; really more like "fight for what you believe in". Some people or events just represent FREEDOM. In my memory, that was what Geronimo was about. Freedom for his people. Heck, they even had a movie back then with Chuck Connors playing Geronimo as an honest character always striving to deal honestly with other peoples and doing his best to take care of his own. Of course, then some idiot in the American Cavalry or some cowpoke crosses the line and then you have the usual scenario. But in the movie that was plain to see. Now you know if white people made a movie like that, that his true life character had to have been of much strength to have made that much of an impression on prejudiced whites of that day and time. That is something to be respected. This is a perfect example of generational loss of knowledge. How easy it is for people to be led around by a past they don't truly know. White history has been done the same way; black history has been done the same way; all history has been done this way for a reason. Again, how easy it is for people to be led around by a past they don't truly know. Who we think is the problem, isn't as there are too many layers of control. Our solar system and planet are changing if nobody has noticed. We must change with it. There are many players and levels in the game. Feint within feint within feint. However, the most important battle is within, as you hold the prize....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
