	This is the sort of meaninglessly stupid shyte that leaves
	me shaking my head.  This is equivalent to white people
	in the 21st century apologizing for black slavery in the
	USA 150 years ago.  These attempts at assuaging guilt that
	doesn't even exist are amusing, in a pathetic sort of way,
	but it is a little perplexing as to how people this stupid
	are actually able to breathe without some mechanical
	device to help them figure out how.

	Oy gevalt!  The missionary did his work so well that his
	bullshit lives and thrives even 136 years post mortem!

	Personally, I think they should make it a national holiday
	and throw a big party, the only legitimate regret being 
	the near-fatal indigestion they must have experienced from 
	poisoning themselves with the consumption of such 
	disease-carrying vermin as that.  

	God bless them for nerve, that's all I can say.  As for the
	guilt: screw that noise.

	Compounding error upon error.  No wonder they were so
	easily conquered.  Sheesh.

	Purveyor of all manner of beneficial things, as 136 years
	illustrates in vibrant shades of dull, leaden-grey guilt
	heaped upon people that have no connection to him or what
	were probably enormously righteous events five generations
	past!  Woohoo!  Somebody pass the bong!
