Excuse me? Where did I say any such thing?

Oh wait, I forgot, you prefer too ignore reality.



See:

18 million Indians die as a result of the first wave of diseases brought to
the new world by the Spanish

Yep... it says 50%, which is a *very* high mortality rate for such plagues.

Nowhere does it say that diseases brought by Europeans wiped out 80% of
the Indians. One link says that one Caribbean island might have had that
high a mortality rate. The Black Death sweeping medieval Europe is now
believed to have had a mortality rate of about 30%.

Another funny thing, these issues were studied and the figures derived
by the same egg-head professional scholars that you scream about when
they talk about pollution & global warming & evolution. I guess you can
pick your own science to believe in, as convenient at the moment?

Thanks for the interesting links.
