Cultural point of view:
I
met an Indian artisan, of the Shoshone Nation, and we talked for a good long
time about all kinds of stuff. The Shoshone share a reservation with the
Cheyenne, and there is a bit of friction between them. The Cheyenne claimed
that the Shoshone bloodlines were too diluted to be real Indians. The Shoshone
say that the Cheyenne aren’t diluted is because Cheyenne women are so ugly that
even a white man wouldn’t have one. I took it as a dis to Cheyenne women and about
the white man’s taste in women. I later saw some of his work in a gallery and
with that kind of skill and talent; he can dis whomever he wants.
A Little Common
Sense:
In an earlier post I gave New
Orleans hell for being built where it shouldn’t be, but we humans have been
trying to put ourselves into places where God and nature say “Thou shouldn’t
go.” I truly feel for the people who have been flooded throughout the Midwest
in recent years. But as with New Orleans it comes down to a 3 words that tell
the whole story….”Below Sea Level!” In the case of the major rivers overrunning
their banks and brushing aside levees those words are “Flood Plain”. Now just
what part of flood plain makes the least amount of sense to those people?
Mother Nature has used that land as overflow for millions of years, and she’ll
still use it whenever she damned well feels like it.
That naturally brings us to
earthquakes. This is directed to my much-loved sister in California; do the 2
simple words “Fault Line” mean anything to you?
