How strange to think that all these creatures, from the arrogant lower-court judge to members of the Council on Foreign Relations, have neighbors, grandchildren, hair stylists, trash collectors, plumbers, dentists. Almost like real people. It's easy to think of them as biblically-prophesied otherworldly beings with strange powers when they're really just spoiled punks. It would be good if their neighbors, barbers, etc., would finally nudge them and say "Hey, with all due respect, you're f--ing up." Might prevent a whole world of hurt for everyone.
In "Legends of the Fall," papa Anthony Hopkins, though half-paralyzed with a stroke, puts down the crooked cops who come to arrest his son Tristan on some bogus charge. The Indian friend of the family does a victory dance over the bodies and only mimes scalping them, because "It was not my kill." A simpler time of immediate consequences when an American Khmer Rouge couldn't look forward to 30 years of living in luxury before a sham show trial.
I’ll tell you something. You really want a chance to get large numbers of men actively interested, find a way to declare war on modern divorce law and family court. Family court judges are already among the most likely to get murdered, and there’s very good reasons for that. Tie this fight in with rights and infringements that ordinary guys have reason to think about on a daily or weekly basis. Abstract principles and philosophic talk aren’t going to hook people who like watching American Idol each week; the population today is not the same makeup as the colonists taming the wilderness."
This tactic was tried years ago in CA by the Right-To-Life people. They picketed a muni-court judge's house after he jailed two of their members for tresspass at a rally in front of an abortion mill. Well, the sewage hit the impeller(to quote Jeff Cooper) and the Peoples Democratic Republic of Kalifornia passed a basketfull of laws protecting these black-robed blackguards from anyone going near them. If you are going to confront the men and women in black over anything, make sure you know what laws they are hiding behind or their tax-supported minions with badges will mess up your day.
I've emailed the chairman of the county board of supervisors and the CEO of the tourism bureau. A fire-breathing show -- a natural since alcohol is the medium -- 13-year tradition is suddenly "arson" and "conspiracy." Remember that fire marshals team up with cops to do no-warrant "safety inspections" of anywhere they want.
... The above image is racially misleading. Europeans scalped native Americans first as proof of bounty. They taught natives this degrading skill. The image of a scalping native american dehumanizes them as "savage." It makes this website appear racist.
Nothing racial meant by the picture. It's just one of the best results from an image search for scalping.
Plus, it's not the scalping itself that would make someone worthy of being labeled "savage," but rather the circumstances of the scalping. In other words, did the victim deserve to be scalped?
Nothing wrong with scalping a bad person who deserves it and who is above the law when it comes to more conventional and accepted forms of justice.
C.A. I Heard the same thing about the White-man scalping Indians to collect Bounty´s also,No I don´t have proof. But There were enough atrocities committed by Indians on each other that it all becomes mote as to who scalped who First.

P.S. there where allegedly some Tribes that Practiced Cannibalism, again just rumor.
The French popularized scalping as a way of employing native Americans and Canadians to terrorize English settlers during the French and Indian War. To earn a bounty, each scalp had to include the crown of the head with its distinctive whorl pattern. No double-dipping by dividing a scalp, that way. It was just another pelt, only better, in that it was proof that a competitor had been eliminated. To some, life has always been cheap. I believe in my heart of hearts that if our current business tycoons and robber barons could do it as well as lay us off and ship our jobs to the Philippines, they would.
I know, I know, don't believe everything you read on wikipedia, but here goes:
Archaeological evidence for such practices in North America dates to at least the early 14th century; a mass grave from that period, containing nearly 500 victims (some with evidence of scalping), was found in South Dakota.[4]
The Indians might have done it before contact with evil Europeans.............

Better include fire marshals:

ReplyDeleteUh.....Anon, do you have some authority for your proposition re scalping? Please cite same.
ReplyDeleteDoes the Malcolm poster add to detract to your conclusion?
