Pumps' Perplexities

The "spin" game is quite common in today's world.....Going on
the premise that people have short memory spans, other
people tend to change the actual events hoping that effect
the outcome of other's thinking........Most of the "spin"
is relative to events in the past 20-30 years.....But HISTORY....

When people start to "spin" recorded history, in its many
forms, it soon becomes a joke.......

As a result of the recent Mexican migration, activists are
saying that California and parts of the Southwestern United
States are still theirs, by "right"......What they do not mention
is "read history to prove it".......

They do not mention the fact that the Russians had a fort
in Northern California......They do not mention that the
area of California was a vast wasteland and not really
habitated......They do not mention that when Mexico
was free from Spain, they were afraid of France and
England and really saw no value in Alta California with
its two forts and a few religious missions......

Two forts does not "ownership" make......If this were
correct than Kansas City should be owned by Spain....
They had some people in the area once......Pumps
