Try selling that to Inupiat and Inuit people who depend on
reliable sea ice for seal hunting and whaling, to put food
on the table. They're having a hell of a time this year, with
the pack ice so screwed up, finding food.
Hint: there are NO Safeway stores in their villages.
Another hint: there are no cash jobs in their villages
to buy food, even if there were Safeway stores.
Subsistance hunting & fi****ng *is* a job in the villages.
The hunters feed the village. The hunters share what they
get with everyone in the village. The elders get fed first,
out of respect.
Some of you folks in the small states need to get out
and see the world through the eyes of other people/cultures
once in awhile. The whole world isn't like where you live,
Thank Godess.
If you showed up in an Eskimo village, The People would
probably feed you and find you a warm place to sleep. If an
Eskimo showed up in your town, they'd probably go hungry and
sleep cold. It's all a matter of culture and local traditions.
In my mind, the "savages" in the north are far more civilized
than many of you people down there in the small states. YMMV.
Fortunately, you have many Indian tribes down there, so there
is hope that you may meet a civilized person and learn how to
act properly, if you try.
