Right.

One of the funniest things about neoconservatives is that
they live in a constant state of self-contradiction.

Would you deny the noble Red Man his traditional way of living?

Yes.

After all, I'm not being allowed to continue my traditional
and culurally hallowed way of life. Why should anybody else,
dammit?
Sorry Doug, guess you couldn't see my tongue stuck in my cheek. My
brother was once geo-surveying for Eldorado Nuclear in northern Alberta,
they had a crew of local Indians to cut line for them. One of the
Indians dogs got into a porcupine, or rather the other way around, the
Indians kicked the dog out of their camp and refused to feed it. My
brother took the dog into his camp, took two days to remove all the
quills and another two weeks of TLC to get the dog healthy, de-flead,
de-ticked, well fed. One of the Indians came along and demanded his dog
back! I could go on with other stories of senseless slaughter of
caribou and elk, "Noble Red Man" indeed!

Not to mention the tired old lie about "The Indians used every part of
the buffalo". Yes, they probably could find a use for every part of
the buffalo, but mostly they killed herds enmasse by stampeding them
off of cliffs Then they carved up whatever small amount they could
carry from the pile, and left the rest. Kill 100 buffalo to get the
meat from one or two. They didn't use every part of every buffalo they
killed. Not even remotely close.


Sort of like WIld Bill Hickok, Teddy Roosevelt and other "hunters"
of the time who slaughtered the last of the buffalo herds for "sport"?
