A bit off topic, yes, but an interesting and though provoking reply.

I know, it was a bit OT, but I was just stepping back from the topic and taking in a bigger picture, sort of looking at the forest instead of the individual trees so to speak. Basically, some people are cut out to be the Chiefs while some (many? most?) are just cut out to be just rank and file Indians and they tend to be happy that way. Some factors to consider are the desire to break out of the Indian mold and become a Chief with a big drive and some do that while others become Chiefs by luck, circumstances at birth, class and so on. In the case of the latter, sometimes they can still be good Chiefs other times, they are not. One good example of a "bad Chief" is Teddy Kennedy, he was born to be one but he falls very short.

Man, I'm wearing myself down, deep philosophy at this time of night, well it takes a lot of energy and I'm basically just chillin' now. HitmanNY, I still have to reply closer to the subject at hand, but it will have to wait until the weekend. B-)
