"Welcome to the new enlightened age, where we have unrealistic views of what a woman should be and look like. Where we dictate how many scars she can have, the shape of her breasts, her butt her style of skin and wherefore the almighty dollar all can be reconstructed by men in white coats who pretend to care. An age where we've rolled back to the time when women were nothing compared to a man, where we bicker over the color of a person's skin. While we cram other peoples heritage down the next generations throats. Where we squash the truth of how this mighty nation came to be, we attempt to erase the lives that were taken to give land to the many. Where we've all but herded the native tribes on patches of land that this nation of good will has deemed not worthy of Americans. A people who've grown accustomed to parading around with the bones of native american ancestors, and it's encouraged. Yes welcome to this new enlightened age where children spend 12 sometimes more years in school and can't tell you basic facts about American history, the same history immigrants are required to know to become citizens. 
An Age built upon the innocent bones of Native peoples, where the soil is fused with the guilt, greed and hatred of a nation. Yes welcome to this enlightened age..." ~ Dell Anne Raye
