This Day in History

This is the day, in 1845, that Texas entered the Union and became the 28th state, an event that I'm sure lots of folks would rather have done without.

It's also the anniversary of the tragic 1890 Massacre at Wounded Knee. This video is about 10 minutes long, there's not much I can add to it, just watch and weep.

If you're thinking that we wouldn't have had the Presidents Bush, remember that they are not Native Texans.

I guess this day will also get into the history books as the day of Saddam's execution.
Doesn't really make much difference, nor does it put things back in order, though.
