What do Animals and Indigenous Peoples have in common?
They aren’t worried about the October 2008 Economic meltdown and they don’t use TOILET PAPER!
The only reason we think we are civilized is because we wear clothes made out of the one plant that does more damage to the environment than coffee or tobacco…Cotton.
To get a break from my “lucrative” Internet writing career I watch the western channel.
I usually watch Gene Autry, Cheyenne and Maverick on the Western Channel because I love to see Hollywood trying to make the towns people, ranchers and cowboys look civilized fighting over women and money in the saloon.
The Indians are the “savages” because they wear loincloth instead of cotton and haven’t discovered toilet paper.
I need to be reminded regularly who the “hostiles and savages” were when the white-man givers manifested our destiny by slaughtering the American Indians so we could build cities and towns with indoor plumbing.
Assuming you have watched a western or two in your time get this image fixed in your mind: A cowboy walking down a muddy street wearing his six guns, chaps and boots with spurs to torment his faithful horse. He dismounts and ties his horse to a rickety hitching post and enters a hastily built wooden shack for a swig of whisky.
Got that image fixed in your brain?
Now think about an American Indian campground… here is picture to remind you.
Who were the savages?
