Are you suggesting that they aren't?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Hey, I'm not the one who trotted out this strained analogy. I'm just working with what was given.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

"Strained analogy"? It's the most obvious analogy available in the human historical record. The fact that you can't make a good case for the indigenous peoples of America being better off after Europeans killed off the majority of them through violence and disease has more to do with the weakness of your position than it does with the quality of the analogy.KH FOR OWNER!

It may be the most obvious analogy, but it's still very strained. Presumably, we wouldn't have intermarriage, bondage, shared perception of valuables (gold and silver), missionary zeal, similar digestive systems, common modes of disease propogation, and on and on. It's worse than those stupid Chinese analogies regarding foreign policy about somebody robbing your house.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
