My ancestors raped the land that I live in. They cut down all the trees, made a paper/lumber factory that polluted the river to the point that it is now one of the most polluted rivers in the world, and took away Native American land.


Needless to say, my ancestors were very, very, rich.

Dunno how many tens of generations it'd be, but I'm fairly straight down the line from John de Graham, right hand man to William Wallace(Braveheart.)
