Where "White Man" went wrong....
« on: October 18, 2012, 03:17:46 pm »

Indian Chief "Two Eagles" was asked by a white U.S. government official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progreess, and the damage he's done."
The Chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"

The chief stared at the government official then replied, "When white man find land. Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex."
Then the chief leaned back and smiled,

"Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
I never really wanted to grow up....All I wanted was to be able to reach the cookie jar...and play with my DW 788
