the wisdom of the losers. do tell. i am part native american. i have uncles who don't even grow body or facial hair. i don't worry about it. that part of my ancestry was so wise that they got slaughtered. also, no, i don't call this civilized. what we have here is pure tyranny that has taken over the government. servants acting like masters, and the vast majority of the people let them. so now, we are the ones lining up to be slaughtered. also, if you really believe that the savages that lived here before the colonization were more advanced, you really should do some more research. try looking into the comanche or the apache. there might have been a handful of elders who had some idea, but the rest were pretty much cavemen. hope that didn't come across too angry. i've just been living with the failures of all my peoples for a long time, and it's starting to get tedious.
