    establishments in the earth--including America, of course--
    consist of pilferings from other people's wash. No tribe,
    howsoever insignificant, and no nation, howsoever mighty occupies
    a foot of land that was not stolen.

And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people
which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their
taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the
Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land
and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the
place of the Canannites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and
the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
