In a post above, you point out that Indians drove buffalo off cliffs.

This is a fact, and a common technique of ancient hunters who didn't have the technology or the luxury of being "good stewards" of Nature. There's a good reason there weren't a lot of large mammals in North America after humans had been here a while.

You did not write that post as an attack on Indians. Nor did you write it as a justification for white men killing off thousands of buffalo, but if I had gone the hostile route you did after my first post, that would have been the sort of thing I might have written.

Stupid thing to say, Tom..... Even YOU have to admit that you contributed less than nothing to this thread with that post

You're the one who hauled that discussion into the sawdust ring, not me.
