Oh how I long for the good old days before Columbus got here and ruined everything, the cannibalism, the human sacrifice, the slavery, the internecine wars, the robberies and murders and kidnappings among the ”indigenous peoples.” I wish we could bring back the witch doctors and get rid of the scientific method, the Enlightenment and Western medicine I would much prefer a Shaman dancing over me while I have a heart attack than some Western doctor with a defibrillator. Let’s rid our society of all those things discovered or invented by those evil white European males like electricity, artificial lighting, photography, mass production, automobiles, trains, airplanes, indoor plumbing, sewers, refrigeration, radio, television, computers, telephones, methods of farming that have revolutionized food production making access to food so easy for us, and principles of guaranteed human rights, individual freedom, and free enterprise that have made this the most powerful and freest nation in the history of the world, and go back to the old ways of the indigenous. It brings tears to my eyes to think of how wonderful life would be if we could just go back to living in huts or caves with no running water or toilets, and perhaps getting to be a slave if we are captured by a neighboring warring tribe, or just having our heart cut out instead; this country would be so much better. We could live in peace and tranquility without western science, and make our daily decisions based on superstition and primitive religion. Let’s celebrate indigenous people’s day!
