I live in a land settled by people who hunted redskins and owned ******s.

Whether you accept the theory of a Bering Land Bridge or not, I am rather
certain that the "Native Americans" that first settled most of North America
were often (though not universally) involved in tribal conflicts which
resulted in the loss of life, I rather doubt that they owned "******s" as
you put it. For more information on the Bering Land Bridge,

I live in a land settled by people who collected bounties on wolves,
coyotes,
every kind of weasel, eagles and all other raptors, snakes, and numerous
other competitors who interfered with their rapine.

I rather doubt that they collected bounties of any sort on animals, but am
willing to concede the point if you can direct me toward appropriate
documentation.

I live in a land settled by people who considered every acre clear cut or
burned to the
ground a tribute to a beneficent and omniscient god.

I also doubt that clear cutting or burning was a wide spread practice..

I live in a land with a growing population hell-bent now upon preventing
such practices.

And it's a good thing too!

Good luck with the brain damage.

Mighty kind of you.

Just wondering, is it possible you were thinking of European settlers?

Thus demonstrating that starting out from born stupid, the only way to
go is stupider.

There is definite evidence that the Mayans and related
civilizations did do this on a significant scale. And
I've seen some speculation that there was a fair amount
of it in eastern North America as well.

In the mid to late nineteenth century, much of central and southern New England
was open farmland, pretty much devoid of forestation. I have seen many pictures
taken during that time that show pstureland as far as the eye can see. The
multitude of stone walls that one encounters in what is now dense woodland bear
mute testimony to what was there 150 years ago.
