i've heard that before but i wasn't sure if it was true when America was doing something very similar with the indians during the relocation/reservation hoohar before the Boer Wars. i'm not disagreeing with you because i understand its generally accepted as truth, it's just something about it doesn't sit right with me. i mean surely there was a time before 1888 or whenever where someone had the bright idea to put their enemies in a guarded camp awaiting execution.

Maybe they're considered the predecessor of the Nazi camps because they worked people to death as well? I'm not really sure.

i think you're right. i see conspiracies everywhere, but at the same time i'm a born cynic. i end up arguing with myself and cynical me usually wins.
