re: #88 cliffster

I beg to differ. I think the american indians’ lives revolved around living in harmony with nature. It wasn’t by accident. They wanted to know that they lived in such a way that their way of life could be sustained indefinitely. Just because they didn’t put in scientific terms, didn’t mean they didn’t understand what was going on.

I will differ too. The noble savage idea has died some time ago. They lived like all peoples always have; the difference being that their lives were so hard that they were not able to overpopulate the land, plus the fact that they didn’t invent gunpowder to slaughter the buffalo in a couple of generations.
