First.... Many Indigenous Nations have calendars which have
been counting the years for a very long time. I am aware that
the calendar of the Mohawk Indian Nation has been counting
the winters for over 33,120 years. This pre-dates the so-called
'land-bridge' of the Bering Strait theory, unless, of course, the
Bering Strait scientists decide to move their interestingly illusive
time period for our "early migration" back to 40,000 years!
Many American Indian early histories tell of events that took
place on this Turtle continent (North America) long before any
so-called ice age. But, for political reasons, our histories
have been mostly ignored. You see, the Bering Strait, in truth,
is a theory that was born of the politics and propaganda of
early America. In the midst of the American 'Manifest Destiny'
social climate, the Bering Strait theory provided a 'scientific'
means to justify the taking of ancestral Indian lands. In short,
the mythical theory eased the conscience, as it was a way for
land hungry immigrants to believe that, because Indian people
were only 'recent inhabitants' of this land that it was not our
'homeland'. Therefore we were, in their minds, not any more
the 'original people' in this land than they were. This was, and
still is, the political power of the infamous 'Bering Strait theory'.

Continuing.... The Bering Strait theory would have us believe
that all of North America was uninhabited by human beings of
any kind until the supposed 'ice age'. The theory contends that
the ancestors of American Indians originated in Siberia. Factual
history of the ancient people of Siberia in those times indicates
that these people had plenty to eat, were very settled into their
communities, and the land they lived on. The Bering Strait
theory wants us to believe that countless thousands of people
from these well established communities in Siberia, despite the
fact that they had everything they needed, just left everything
behind to head north into a frozen tundra to 'chase and hunt
game' (which, by the way, also decided for some crazy reason
to leave their rich marshlands and head for the ice). Not only
does it not make any logical sense, it doesn't make any historical,
cultural or scientific sense! The culture of those ancient Siberian
people is as different from North American Indigenous cultures
as a shark is from an eagle! There are no cultural links between
ancient Siberian peoples and the Native peoples of this continent
to indicate any human descendancy connection. It simply makes
no sense. Then there is the 'land bridge' itself.... In order to create
the Bering Strait 'bridge', we first need the timeless normal function
of the earth's wind, evaporation and precipitation patterns to, all of a
sudden, just change completely. The wind streams need to begin
to travel south to north, instead of west to east. In order to create
the Bering Strait 'bridge', we need to drop the water level at least
200 ft. So an enormous amount of water needs to be evaporated -
about 20.82 million cubic kilometers, enough water to cover an
area of 5 million square miles with a sheet of ice 1.2 miles thick.
To complete the process, we need this massive evaporation to
take place in the warmer climates of the south, then the moisture
laden clouds need to break the natural laws of the planet and
head to the far north so they can then 'dump' their precipitation as
ice over the northern regions of the earth. To quote from Professor
Vine Deloria Jr., "We cannot today conceive of a natural process
that would evaporate this amount of water and transport it safely
from the temperate zones to ensure that it precipitated as ice in
Canada." As you can see, when you begin to explore the facts, it
becomes more and more clear how ridiculous the Bering Strait
theory really is. The Native people of this Turtle continent did
not 'migrate' to this land.... we have always been here. the native american languages never existed in asia

I'm a tall, skinny white boy who can't dance. I'm in grade 11, and I've only gone to one dance (grade 9), where I sat bymyslef. I danced one slow dance, but I don't know how to dance during the inbetween songs. I want to go to the dances next year, but I need help worse than the 40 year old virgin!

I have a 9-part drawing on separate pieces of art paper. I want to mount it onto plywood. Can anyone suggest a type of glue that I can use that won't cause the paper to shrink, curl or wrinkle, and where I could source it from?

Freud claims the Superego acts as a policeman between the Id and the Ego. Sartre explained that the Superego would have to have knowledge and be self-aware to do its duty. Despite this criticism, can the idea of a Superego still be seen to apply to human nature?

I'm working on a full-size R2-D2 robot, and the resin piece that are blue I painted with House of Kolor automotive paint. I cleaned and washed the parts, primed the parts with primer, and I'm about to paint.

The first time I tried this, the paint was chipping off, and I don't want this to happen again. Is there some sort of clear coat to prevent this from happening?

I know greed gets in the way and prevents a Utopia from functioning but suppose they voted the greedy people out at the first hint of jealousy or greed of any kind. Then would a Utopia be possible in theory? Hmmm...
