Never go full retard.

Yeah, I think we crossed the "Survive or not" threshold a long time ago. I think we're headed for extinction and it will be within the next 100 years. Mostly, we're going to turn this planet into something closely akin to Dune except we won't have the sand worms or the spice. If we had been good stewards of the earth, we would probably have a better chance of survival, but greed and stupidity got in the way. The most powerful, strongest nation in the world has ruined it for everybody.
I'm not saying that we should have gone to a Tribal system. I'm saying we should have gone to a Responsible form of society. We should have thought about the following generations and the long term effects of the things we did. We should have copied the Indian idea of considering the needs of the next seven generations.
What an offensive thing to say, pretty awful and not at all accurate. Anyway I thought Kurt was referencing Merle Haggard's death, THE GREAT Merle Haggard, but this Indian was a solid man as well. Too bad they had to live in a world with you in it, Rob, you who diminish what is worthwhile.

Meh. She's butthurt about some other thread so will snipe at me on others. Kind of tedious.
This is a public forum. I've not committed any form of Internet etiquette by posting in response to something you two have written. Perhaps you two should get a room.

I just finished "1493," which is includes solid, if abbreviated synopsis of the pre-Columbian American lifestyle for laypersons, as well as the synthesis of cultures. Perhaps worth a read?
