Title: Ain't THAT the truth ;)
Post by: Toad on March 06, 2002, 12:13:38 AM

The old Cherokee chief sat in his reservation hut, smoking the ceremonial pipe, eyeing the two US government officials sent to interview him.

"Chief Two Eagles," one official began, "you have observed the white man for many generations, you have seen his wars and his products, you have seen all his progress, and all his problems."

The chief nodded.

The official continued, "Considering recent events, in your opinion, where has the white man gone wrong?

"The chief stared at the government officials for over a minute, and then calmly replied.

"When white man found the land, Indians were running it...
no taxes...no debt...plenty buffalo...plenty beaver...women did
most of the work...medicine man free...indian men hunted and
fished all the time"

The chief smiled, and added quietly, "White man was dumb enough to think he could improve on a system like that."

Sometimes, you just have to sit back and enjoy the wisdom.

No argument from me on this one, Mr. Toad.
