It often comes up in debates about illegal immigration, that we * didn't ask permission from the native Americans, if it was okay for us (IBID) to come here.
The implication is that if we (IBID) didn't ask, why should anyone in the world have to ask us, the current citizens of the US for permission to reside here?
To which I reply: "How well did that turn out for the Native Americans"?
To which they reply:
They don't reply, because such an obvious thought never occurred to them. They aren't going to change their outlook, even though this concept is a veritable bullet to the brain for their theorem.
*(Not us personally, but our ancestors--actually, not even my ancestors. Mine all came after you needed permission from the US government.)
