You're really fighting me on this. OK, we will have to make some concessions in political principles then. A little affirmative action giving Indians preference in jobs working with bison and a certain percentage of all bison profits will go to support the BIA. If the wackos oppose that they will be totally politically incorrect and exposed for the completely anti-social misfits that they are.

Imagine how many buffalo there were before they had horses to hunt them!? The air must have been blue with Prairie Perfume.

That, and archaeologists and historians point-out that Indians did not "take only what they needed". Paleo-indians often killed scores more bison than they needed due to their hunting practices. Also, Indians helped in the near extinction of the buffalo in the late 19th century. Photographs and documents from the period indicate that Indians hunted buffalo for their pelts so that they could use them as trade goods. Often, the carcasses were stripped of the hides and the meat was left on the carcasses.

LOL!

Really, I understanf what you are trying to say. The problem is that appeasing the left consists of becoming completely leftist. They constantly move the bar until you become one of them. Screw appeasing them; live and do as a free man.

"completely anti-social misfits"

I think that is the best summary of the Left that I have read in a long time.

Thank you. If you'd like to read more of a dissertation about them take a look at this...

I ate a chunk of one of these critters last time I was in Salt Lake City.. Very Tasty.. Very red and sweet. No fat and a little hard to cut with a fork.

***Cute story but aren't you forgetting about gullies and rivers and overland bridges?***

So, what's your take on why the herds broke up? If it was disease why did not the other big herds also contract it?
