I agree with both of you.

You may or may not know I like to hunt for native american artifacts aka arrowheads as most people call them. It has been a while since I've posted any of my finds. But, when you look back at how these native people lived I think it is amazing how well they took care of the environment. They did not pillage the land and resources at all. They only took what they needed and basically did not pollute the environment at all for THOUSANDS of years. You might say they did not have the means to pillage, plunder, and pollute? I wonder why that is? I like to think it is because they were perfectly happy with what they had and did not yearn to have MORE MORE MORE like we do today. Just look at how far this country has evolved in little more than 200 years. Seems wimpy compared to THOUSANDS, doesn't it?

And to think we killed them all (most) in order to claim thier land and natural resources - very sad. We should have tried to co-exist and learn from them what it means to be a good patron to the environment. Or would we have just corrupted them with our way of thinking? Hmmm...
