Here is an example from an op-ed on Thanksgiving, in the Boston Globe a couple of years ago, where the writer wrote, "The Indian life was a difficult one, but there were no employment problems, community harmony was strong, substance abuse unknown, crime nearly non-existent, what warfare there was between tribes was largely ritualistic and seldom resulted in indiscriminate or wholesale slaughter." Now, you're all familiar with this treacle.
na svoju pogibelj, izgubili. Evo primjera: komentar povodom Dana zahvalnosti u Boston Globeu prije par godina, u kojem autor piše: "Život Indijanaca bio je težak, ali nije bilo problema s nezaposlenošću, društvo je bilo skladno, nije bilo ovisnosti, kriminal gotovo da i nije postojao, a ako bi izbio rat među plemenima bio je uglavnom ritualan i rijetko je vodio neselektivnom ili masovnom pokolju." Svi ste upoznati s ovim romantičnim viđenjem.
