I suppose so... your remarks "go to show" that people who are unable to
discuss things
intelligently resort to name-calling... And for your information, your
opinion of me is
of no importance... I don't care what you think of me, not in the very

there was any indication that your beliefs were worthy of consideration,
your opinion
would be examined... but as it is...

They were not part of the discussion... They lived in Central America, I
believe.

I think its pretty snazzy.... My hat's off to them. They were better
engineers that
the ones we were talking about... who's engineering skills seemed
limited to making
dirt piles.

I am unaware of the HoHoKums, but if they built canals and irrigation
systems, I give
them credit for doing it.... Good for them.

If you say so... I'm not in the mood to speculate with you. However, I
will point out
that those fellows (the FF's) were capable of "Conceptual Thought," and
I find it
difficult to believe that they were so limited in "Perceptual Thought"
that a
"confederation" was inconceivable until they saw one.
