11. "Country" is an artificial appellation

Edited on Tue Feb-07-06 04:12 PM by SoCalDem

A foreigner draws lines on paper and someone who claims to represent you and all your clan, places his mark on that paper....instant "country"...

Tribal people do not recognize artificial boundaries.

Most people in the world still cling to tribalism. WE are the minority, not they..We used education, weapons and enormous wealth to co-opt their resources, and now that they are very keenly aware of what we have been doing, they are pissed.
