Another one sent to me by Abie, my friend from the south...

An old Indian chief sat in his tepee on the Reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two US government officials who had been sent to interview him.

"Chief Two Eagles..." asked one official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."

The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"

The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied. "When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes. No debt. Plenty buffalo. Plenty beaver. Women did all the work, Medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing... spent all night having big sex."

Then the chief leaned back and smiled ... "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
