Guest guest Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 I hope you find this amusing. ------ The old Cherokee Chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking the ceremonial pipe, eyeing the U.S. government officials sent to interview him. " Chief Two Eagles, " one official began, " you have observed the white man for 90 years. You have observed his wars and his material wealth. You have seen his progress and the damage he has done. " The Chief nodded that it was so. The official continued, " Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong? " The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute, then calmly replied: " When white man found this land, Indians were running it. No taxes. No debt. Plenty buffalo. Plenty beaver. Women did all the work. Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing, all night making love to women. " The Chief leans back, shakes his head, smokes his pipe... " White man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
