Who's ignorant? Apparently, you have trouble with understanding metaphor as
well as American history and life in general. But thanks, at least, for
giving us your well-healed reason for moaning about having to contribute to
the society you hold so dear.
Even so, given your provincial attitudes, I'll bet there's a home-on-wheels
somewhere in your history.
> I drive a $34,000 pick-up, and my wife

How cute: an urban assault vehicle, right? Great Caesar's ghost, you're
becoming your own stereotype!

Glad to hear it. Who did you have to step on to do so well for yourself?
> I don't say these things to brag,

expose how

Man, please! You wouldn't know a rational argument if it crawled up your
rectum and died!
>Never said anything about "better" or "worse," and only mentioned that the
Indians
>were minimal producers of anything, and lived in a constant state of
semi-poverty.
>That may be "better" in the eyes of some people. I don't care, as long as
they
>don't steal my stuff.
No, but in typical right-wing fashion, you sure as hell implied it! As for
the statement you just made about "semi-poverty," do you have even the
slightest clue what life was like for native Americans BEFORE we came over
here and stole the land out from under them? My God, talk about
ignorance!!!!!!
Poor, poor Squawk! So very worried that someone is after his "stuff." Keep
crapping on people you don't know, much less understand, and your fears may
well be warranted.
>Neat! I'm sure that the Founding Fathers would never have come up with
the idea
>of a loose confederacy without the Iroqois.... Sure...
Kind of hard to say: our "founding fathers" were so much into taking what
wasn't theirs that such a noble concept was not likely to come to fruition
in the minds of bully thieves all by itself.
>So they came over here, leaving their palatial homes in Europe, to live in
crude
>huts and exploit the Indians of their goods.... Right?
Not quite that simple: they were fleeing "religious persecution" in an
attempt to devise a system which would facilitate their theft. Sure, there
were some hard-working people in the bunch who just wanted a better life
for their families, but they didn't bankroll the trip.
>I think its quaint how you use the term
>"plunder resources."
Hardly quaint, unless you consider the slaughter of native Americans and
the enslavement of a race of people as being quaint.
> What on earth should we do with them but manipulate them
>into useful things?
Perhaps we should have "borrowed" the Indian philosophy of frugal use of
resourses as well. Then, maybe, we could have had both a clean environment
AND a materialistic technology at the same time.
>Personally, I think oil is more useful in my automobile than it is 6,000 feet
>beneath the surface of the earth... So I'm all for plundering oil and
anything
>else that can make my life better.
Oh, I wish I had read this jewel first. You would have been a far more
enjoyable target of humiliation. Keep thinking that way, Squawk, and for
the pursuit of a "better life, you'll be living in your own filth!
