Joke on land owner's rights (was) RE: Re[2]: [at-l] Re: at-l Digest, Vol 2, Issue 36

Said somewhat in jest:

Okay, you are for owner's land rights?  No taking of the land, etc., from
the owner.  Does that mean you favor everybody being sent back to where they
came from and turning the land back to the Indians?  Of course considering
how New York City is and a few other places -- like Love Canal -- there
might be a few places left for White Eyes and other non-Native Americans.
