MARK TWAIN QUOTE | 2007-11-27

Twain was anti-colonial. He said one thing that has an entirely different meaning today:

"There's invasion, immigration, and colonization. Invasion is military. Immigration is voluntary and peaceful. Colonization is genocide. Colonization can result from EITHER invasion OR immigration. In the end, it's the same result, though."

Yes, Twain would be astonished today to see which direction the genocide was going.
