Well, she did bring up an interesting point.
We are all immigrants. We all came here from some other country. Humans were not indigenous to the Americas.
I myself can only trace my family lineage back to the second ship to reach my state, the Fortune, not the Mayflower. So here is my Modest Proposal. Every single person should be deported back to their original country.
So I'd be lucky to land back in the middle of England. Native Americans would be sent back to Asia. That's one way to reverse the diaspora.
You have to follow that to its logical conclusion Anthony. We all came from the bacterial primeval swamp stew type place. In other words we come from the one source and are all one and we live on this one earth and we must live in peace together or die together.
I enjoy your trying to one-up my Reductio ad Absurdum, but you broke the rules. We were talking only about people, not plants and other animals. I said nothing about deporting the animals and replanting the plants.
And likewise I don't apply it to land masses moving around, so don't bring up plate tectonics and trying to recreate Pangea.
