Default Food for thought?

An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial
pipe and eyeing two U.S government officials sent to interview him. "Chief
Two Eagles," asked one official, "You have observed the white man for 90
years. You've seen his wars and his material wealth. You've seen his
progress, and the damage he's done." The chief nodded in agreement. 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 and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land,
Indians were running it. No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver,
women did all the work, medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting
and fishing, all night having sex." Then the chief leaned back and
smiled, "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like
that."
