Ah, history. It's so much different than what we're taught in elementry/secondary school.

George Washington - Grew Hemp on his plantation. But also grew hemp to smoke. (Marijuana). How do we know he wanted to smoke it? Because in his diaries he was upset one year that he didn't pinch the flowers off soon enough to make buds. You don't do that unless you want to increase the THC content. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Native Americans - That's a funny old one. The "current" native americans are the second wave. In South America, the natives were descended from the same population as the aboriginals in Australia. In North America, the natives were descended from the same population as most of your western europeans

BOth sets were absorbed (completely in South America, mostly in North America) by the current emigrees who are descended of mongols, that arose 7,000 BC in central asia. Also note, the mongols did it in for the caucasians in that region, too. There are a few scattered tribes, mostly in remote areas of Japan, of the original caucasoids, but they were basicaly killed off and/or absorbed.

The Rosenbergs - Put to death as the masterminds of a giant commie spy ring. Only the FBI withheld evidence that indicated they were nobodies, especially Ethyl Rosenberg. The FBI arrested Ethyl Rosenberg to put pressure on Julian Rosenberg. Also, the FBI knew who the real spies were (Jerry Hall, and another guy, forgot his name) but wouldn't arrest them for some rather stupid reasons that would take about 100 column inches of space.

The Halls of Montezuma - Big marine corps victory? Sorry, it was a boy's military academy. Bunch of big, bad mofo marines taking on 12-year old boys drilling with muskets. Oh yeah. Be proud!
