In the midst of all the economic turmoil in the U.S., an Indian Chief
"Two Eagles" was asked by a white government official, 'You have
observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his
technological advances. You've seen his progress, 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 for over a minute and then
calmly 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.'
