Girl- People think I'm strong. They think I'm tough.
Observer- They think you're strong because you mislead them to think you were strong Percy.

Thinking that all groups of white people (Europeans) colonized everything is ignorance, and it spreads like wildfire. You don't hear about many Russian or Polish colonies outside Europe/Eurasia. You don't hear about many parts of the world colonized by Eastern European groups. The Greeks also don't do much colonizing in recent history, so it's mainly been about 7 or 8 groups of Europeans (the Vikings did land in North America a thousand years ago) in recent history that did most of the colonizing worldwide (English, Dutch, German, French, Belgian, Spanish, Portugeuse, and Italian). Those 7 or 8 groups have had a lot of the influence in Europe, so people in other parts of the world wouldn't have any more time to differentiate between an Italian and a Bosnian than someone in Europe would have time to differentiate between a Tanzanian and a South African, thus theres a lot of assumptions and ignorance based on what people look like.
Not even every family in every country that did colonize other parts of the world was involved in colonization. There were people/families in England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium that didn't have the time on the money to go out and explore the world, look for gold, or enslave other groups. They were going to work for the same kinds of people that were colonizing other parts of the world.

There's a lot of people who are quick to try and change something that's been there for decades or longer, but don't want to preserve anything that's been around a while, they only seem to want to preserve something new and fresh, something that just got done.
The guy/girl wanted everything he/she wasn't a part of or didnt do with his/her group eliminated, but wanted everything he/she/they did do preserved forever. They thought everyone had to welcome and agree with their thoughts about change, and that anybody who disagreed should die.

The snow angel thought telling everybody she rescued 60 animals, from livestock to dogs and cats from somebody else's land would right her wrong of leaving her own dog paralyzed from her own negligence and carelessness. She thought that shoveling snow for people would right the wrongs of some of her more serious crimes. Most people shovel their own snow, they aren't overly eager to shovel everybody else's snow because it's a bit suspect and seems insincere to boot.

An example of how new technology does something better, but you sacrifice something to get it. Kids are now growing up without the ability to say Luke I am your father into their bladed fans.
Kids born in the last 10 years or so aren't going to get to talk into their fans or rewind videocassettes thanks to newer technology that eliminates most of this stuff from people's lives. A lot of the new fans are bladeless fans. Is newer technology always better?
