In reading mreagent: It's interesting that for so long Cortez in, "traditional" history, came from Europe to conquer (and take advantage of the aboriginals of Mexico) and steal gold.....the wretched usurpers. Maybe so. These aboriginals were, however. bloody savages that mutilated other humans as part of their culture.....violated "human rights". The Europeans also sought to Christianize the the poor wretches and that's a step in the right direction....isn't it?. I wonder what history teacher today would try to dish-out both sides of that story to a class full of Hispanic kids? Maybe I have this all wrong. Jim
