Attitudes ? Shaping the Future
B,
N * "f1 '
Over the last several years, ? major change in
attitude* hat prevailed which ha*, in ihc
opinion of this writer, had a devastating and
doomsday effect on the future of this country.
America hat always been a land of oppor
tunity and the place where innovativeneu it
rewarded. Somewhere along the road we have
deviated and our system reward* the unproduc
tive through countless social programs and
penalizes the productive element through in
creased regulations and higher taxes. The per
centage of workers on government payroll*
has increased rapidly with the incentive of
securing a place where one can advance and be
recognized. This advancement is at the expense
of the over-burdened taxpayer.
The prevailing attitude it for government to
do Something about any and all of' our
problems. It is time for us to wake up and
realize that governirjenl is not a panacea for
our problems. In a democratic society govern
ment has certain responsibilities to maintain a
proper balance in our economy. Few of us. if
any, really understand the factors which have
impaired our lives and caused this erosion in
our standard of living. The social implications
of spreading the wealth over large masses of
people have redirected our emphasis toward
building dynasties layer upon layer.
I9g0i? in elecnon year and an opportunity
-lor ndUioni of Americans to seek out those
candidaln who will do the best )ob for our
country. Those candidates who speak of the
free enterprise system and getting back to the
baric supply - demand determinants which are
supposed to set price in a free society. Too
much government regulation and intervention
Is taking place today and it is lime for the mid
dle class taxpayer to stand up and be
rr.ogaieed in proportion to his contribution
toward keeping this country moving.
What happens when we all become a part of
Jhc system and free enterprise as we know it
today, ceases to exist7 The example of Great
Botain is at hand and we don't want to model
Our system after theirs.
We arc still "America", the land of oppor
tunity; however, to remain a viable capitalistic
tysiem, people must get involved to the extent
of re?|uiring their representatives in elected of
fices to be responsive to the things that best
serve this country as a whole and less toward
special interests.
Altitudes make the difference and we can do
something aboui the way things are. Let's gel
going.

AMERICA'S PHYSICAL
B1BTH came much later than
that of the other continents.
The recession of the Great ke
Age left behind it a vast new
territory which today com
prises sixteen million square
miles. When man first set foot
on American soil, he was
already fully developed in the
physical sense, not just the
sub-man of evolution. Europe,
not America say the author
ities. was the nursery for
physically-developing man
kind. and archeoiogical dis
closures fully support that
conclusion.
I like the way the Indian
writer, Jennie Laughing
Cloud, puts the matter,
"When man first set foot on
the Western Hemisphere in
the fog of creation, 'in the mist
of potent growth,' as the Zuni
Indians describe it, he saw
before him a land covered with
flowering plants and towering
trees growing in rich, soft soil
...a green continent fairly
exploding with life and color...
a veritable Garden of Eden."
It was a truly new New World,
replete with all the botanical
delights the human heart
could conceive or imagine. It
was in such an atmosphere as
this that my ancestors lived,
loved, moved and had their
being. Then came the white
gods the Indian prophets had
foretold, or people who looked
like them and pretended to be.
And ultimately there also
came the fall. Writes Robert F.
Marx: "The Spaniards might
well have failed in their New
World conquest if the Indians
had not believed them to be
the returning 'bearded white
gods' who according to legend
had visited their lands in the
heroic past." The Aztecs,
under Montezuma, welcomed
Corcez with open arms, every
man sure in his own trusting
heart that Cortez was the Fair
God Quetzaicoatl.
Cortez was not. Quite the
contrary. Like Columbus be
fore him, he used the Indian's
religious hope of a coming
white Messiah or Savior to his
own advantage, playing the
god-role to the hilt. In the
name of God, he killed, robbed
and enslaved. And inumer
able were the other European
dare-devils who followed his
formula for conquest.
AMERICA'S MULTIPLE
"DISCOVERERS." To disco
ver means to obtain sight or
knowledge of ...for the first
time... or to find. And while it
is true that Columbus dis
covered America for himself,
and even also for certain
others, it is equally true that
he was not the first person to
do so. The Indians did so
unknown centuries before he;
and indeed, Columbus was not
even the first European to
discover the New World, by
his own admission.
? ,
? ? a 1- . I HI- C. I I
mii entry in tnc i^iw juuwira
Encyclopedia "Columbus was
probably not the first Euro
pean to reach American
shores. Vikings are thought to
have landed on North America
500 years earlier." These
irough tough sailor-adventur
ers ot the northern seas, also
called Norsemen and North
men, operated from the shores
of Denmark, Norway and
Sweden; and were somewhat
similar to the Spanish pirates
of Spanish-English history.
Having unusually-strong ships
for that period, they sailed far
out from their home ports,
"plundering and pilaging." It
has been recorded that, in the
year 1000 A.D., Leif, the son
of Eric the Red, discovered the
coast of North America. This
discovery seems to have cre
ated little interest, however;
and by the day of Columbus,
seems to have been all but
forgotten.
This is not surprising, how
ever, under the circumstances.
The times that followed were
days of intellectual or scholarly
decline for Europe. It took
Columbus and better days to
rekindle that spark of interest
in overseas discovery.
Mara In Oeoaaa for Nov.
Dec. 1973 wrote: "Rather than
alloying fame as the 'dis
coverer' of the New World,
Columbus should be known as
the man who renewed Buro
Cian interest in the lends that
y on the for aide of the
Atlantic."
Within the poet few years, a

he was actually well-aware of
America's existence.
In his article. "Who Really
Discovered the New World?"
the Oceana writer states:
"Columbus himself actually
reported evidence of European
contact with it. (The New
World.) During his second
voyage he wrote of finding
wreckage of a European ship
on the Island of Guadeloupe.
Some months later, while
cruising along the coast of
Venezuela, his small fleet of
vessels was approached by a
large wooden canoe containing
eighty men, who he described
at being of 'stout build, white
skinned, with long blond hsir
and beards."
Columbus and his men tried
to communicate with the
"strange men," but they fled
before their identity could be
ascertained. These men might
very well have been the
offspring of the very Norse- i
men who reached this coun
try's shores, or other Ameri
can shores 500 years earlier.
This much is certain: These
were no Hollywood stereo
types of the American Indian.
Did you ever hear of a typical
Indian boat of the times which
, could carry 80 men?)
The religion of the Mormon
Church revolves about the
American Indian whom its
members regard as the chosen
people of God for these latter
days. Thus their research of
Native American history is
tireless and endless. The
church has long recognized the
existence of at least two
physical types of the Native
American. To them, the
American aborigine is the
"other sheep" Jesus declared
Himself to have, adding, "and
these must I also bring." is it
any wonder that the entire
Mormon religion revolve*
around the Native American?
The Mormon Church is the
only Christian denomination to
originate in America.
AMERICAN COLONIZATION
by Europe, once popularly
believed to have begun with
Columbus in the I4Ws is now
known to have been begun by
Norsemen fully haif-a-milleni
um earlier. Largely because of
the lack of original documen
tation, the subject of the
non-Columbian discovery of
America was discounted and
stirred heated controversy
among scholars until recent
years. About a decade ago,
however. Dr. Helge Lugs tad,
a ntoed Norweigian archeokv
gist, excavated at L'Anse aux
Meadows in New Foundland,
indisputable evidence that
Norsemen established a colony
on North American fully five
hundred years earlier. Thus
scholars could no longer consc
ientiously dismiss, discard and
disallow any longer the old
Norse "sagas," narratives
'which spoke of voyages to
these shores in the dim long
ago. No longer could they be
dismissed as ficticious legends,
for at last they had the support
of tangible proof. So now at
last, a fuller and truer account
of American discovery and
settlement can be told. And a
people long deprived of his
torical credit and credence
may at last receive the histori
al honor due them. And who
knows? The world tomorrow
may even get around to
honoring the Native American
for a discovery and settlement
that came even much earlier
than that of the Vikings I We
must first, however, be fully
recognised as fellow human
The Nm York Public Librmry
A very old drawing of the American Indiana aa they fled
from Columbus in Presumably, this scene took place
on San Salvador(now Watling's Island), an island of the
Bahemns croup. The Indians mistook the Europeans for
gods. That Columbus took advantage of this misconception
is proved by the later fuct that he compelled them to do his
bidding by foretelling an eclipse of the moon. In describing
his fourth and last voyage to America. New Standard
cyclopedia says: "The natives, friendly at first, were made
hostile by the bad conduct of some of Columbus's follower*.
They stopped providing food until Columbus worked on
their superstitions by foretelling an eclipse of the moon."
In describing the third voyage, this source says: "On his
return to the colony, . \.v- Columbus found general unrest
among the settlers. In an effort tn calm them, he divided
i the land among them and mnde slaves of the Indians."
This was an action with which Queen Isabella of Spain was
very much displeased. Thus we see that what started out to
be a beautiful friendship ended because the Indians were
exploited (for the first but not the last time in American
history.) Ironically, the Indians were not only deprived of
their lands, but were actually forced into slavery to work
them.
