Nice Midnight Oil song -- sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.
You sure did lay a whole lot on my and John Harris's shoulders. Apparently, we're personally responsible for the demise of the buffalo.
Look, I haven't got anything against Native Americans, and sure as hell don't appreciate the implication that I do. I'm sure John D. feels the same way. What we (presuming he doesn't mind me putting words in his mouth) were trying to point out is that the myth of what the Native Americans were is not always accurate -- and history has been very kind in overlooking their faults and highlighting more of their virtues. We're just trying to make sure this very warlike culture which had many shortcomings, as all cultures do, is not incorrectly viewed as some sort of "perfect society."
I don't know that you'll find a perfect human society that can truly live sustainably. Now, Dolphins on the other hand, they've got something figured out that we don't.
