[Vision2020] Buffalo:Cruel Joke Relates to Cruel History!

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

I have followed this discussion with interest.  I believe Ted's  statements 
are entirely supportable and historically accurate.  Ms.  Falen is just plain 
wrong about the harvesting of hundreds of thousand of  buffalo for their hides 
or meat.  (Unless she knows something  about major industrial-scale hide 
tanning businesses  somewhere along the North Platte River that historians of the 
American West  have somehow ignored.  The same objection applies to the absence 
of   meat packing plants.)  Further, don't play the "atrocities on both 
sides"  card unless you have chosen to remain forever faithful to the "history" you 
 learned in 5th grade during the 1950's.

doing something  and doing nothing is everything." Daniel Berrigan
