Of course if we rely on that justification, how many more terrorist attacks do we need in France to justify those laws there?

“Okay, no more religion, any religion, ever.”

oh forgive me for thinking your four lengthy paragraphs were serious commentary

As someone who has studied history for a long time, that argument while logically correct is incapable of being put in actual practice. All we can do is deal with the world as it is and how to make it better for all rather than trying to redraw the map.

Maybe I’m a cultural heathan, but I don’t really get the uproar over burial grounds in general. Nobody alive knows anyone that was buried there. Along the same vein, the fighting over Kennewick Man was a scientific travesty.
