Daria, I don't recall taking you to task for 'sins of omission' ... unless I am mistaken, I have always felt your comments were insightful and relevant ... and I did say 'meow' to your cat ... that was you - yes?

Kathleen, Oy, I just wrote a response to your comment and it was inadvertently erased when I tried to post it. The post in question was at the start of the Russian Invasion of the Ukraine and how we, in the US, have not withstood an attack from an outside invader. You immediately called me to task for omitting the atrocities commited against Indigenous Americans. I apologized to you for the omission though my comment dealt with a pretty specific set of factors. Let's call it a day, I can't think anymore.

Ok, thank you Daria - I'm pretty sure my comment was not intended to call you to task - I carry a sense of responsibility for the lies, broken treaties and ongoing violations against First Nations people (not to suggest that you do not) - also, feel the focus on Ukraine may undermine and overstep concern for issues impacting indigenous people here - and elsewhere ... it really is hard for me to keep up with these discussions ... I apologize to you for any offense - none intended, I am sure ... and yes, I'm worn out too - so ok with me to call it a day (dawning) ....
