 WE> Naw.  Tribe fought tribe and we just happen to be the biggest, meanest
 WE> tribe that joined the fight.  We fought dirty.  Beside the usual
 WE> bribes and lies, I understand that we actually used germ warfare. 
 CH> Ya' got that right, however, not that I do not believe that we most
 CH> certainly used germ warfare, it just must have been missed, sorry!
 CH> And am even more sorry that we did such an abominable thing!  :'(
Smallpox was the main culprit.  Mostly by contact with white man but I have 
heard about indians being given blankets that were previously used by small 
pox victims.
 CH> IMHO, none of the above, but where the Indian came up with the forked
 CH> tongue thingy was from his lowley hissing brother the snake, right?
Yes the snake's tongue is forked.  What's indian lore about snakes?  Or were 
the indians referring to our Christian notion of snakes when they talked of 
forked tongues?
 CH> And just where did you EVER find a woman
 CH> that could talk straight?  :)
American women?  No way.  How about indian folk?
Does indian woman talk straight? 
 CH> Ya' can't win em' all!
Yea and if ya did, you  get stomped by a bunch of angry men.
