When the Europeans, or as commonly preferred, the White Man, set sail upon the seas and "discovered" the great continents of America it was with magnificent foresight and plan of action that their leader Christopher Columbus encountered and dealt with it.

With promptness Columbus assailed the local populace with murder, rapes, assaults, enslavement, bad bargaining, and even suffered them the indignity of renaming their islands and land masses. Always nearby to these indiscretions was a holy man of Catholicism waving a giant cross with Jesus tacked on to it who sported the usual blood stains, nailed flesh, sharp thorns, and other traumatic imagery.

Thus the White Man's indiscretions were always forgiven because a holy man happened to be nearby. Confessions of the most egregious Sins were given nightly by all and hourly by most of Columbus' crew. With the poor, helpless, inferior, and ignorant natives being so abundant and available and forgiveness so readily given, the White Man continued in his riotous devotions to the native peoples.

This continued for centuries by other representatives of the White Man until most natives of the Americas became extinct either from the previous attentions or from newly brought over cold sicknesses which the inferior natives had not yet built a resistance to. It made no difference which to the White Man, for the only good Injun is a dead one.

Today, the remainders of these tattered native tribes now eke out a living within small desert enclosures by collecting welfare checks, binging on firewater, and clamoring to the White Man about their rights to build casinos.

Next the White Man found an even inferior type of animal than the natives, blacks, who he collected from Africa by ship and sailed to the northern Americas to do his bidding. The blacks, as it was understood at the time, were to be fairly compensated for their forced unpaid labor with room and board. It was not a good exchange, however, which the natives had long known, for the White Man took to lynchings, whippings, rapes, and generally more of their familiar indiscretions. This time the White Man was forgiven by a more pronounced and enforceable authority, the government.

What could possibly be next on the chopping block for the White Man's glorious unfolding across the Americas? Well, after the non-whites were crippled sufficiently to not pose a threat, the only other living things left were animals and vegetation. These helpless innocents the White Man brought great misery to.

Of particular note was the gentle beaver, gnawing away at the Birch trees, damming streams, and raising their kits in well built lodges of saplings weaved together. A not unpleasant life to be sure until a lady in Paris found a beaver pelt wrapped around her head was a luxury she could not live without. As the practice became fashionable, or rather, the ignorant sought the appearance of those more ignorant, the White Man launched Armageddon on the hapless beaver and only retired from the fray when a few score of beaver were left and the silk hat came into fashion.

On a grander scale, the White Man removed all vegetation from the middle western regions of the northern Americas to prepare the land for planting of crops.  A monumental task of much perseverance it was. But what resulted was an enormous biblical scale dust cloud of the newly exposed soil that blackened the sky and eventually blew over the Atlantic Ocean, sank, and was completely lost.  Much of America's topsoil is at the bottom of the ocean.  The reason for this catastrophe was that the White Man, in his infinite wisdom, did not realize that if you destroy all the vegetation that holds the soil down in an arid region, the soil will blow away.

There are stories a hundred score such as the above which will inevitably continue on into the future as the White Man continues his quest to avoid knowing himself as others less fortunate than he see him — through vengeance, loathing, dismay, aversion, and nothing better.
