I was once asked by a Cherokee what was the problem with white people. He
wanted to know when we would go home and leave folks alone. My immediate
thought was that he was right. My opinion after much thought is he is
very, very right! White people have caused many of the world's problems.
When are we going to go home and leave the rest of the folks alone?
Kevin.
