No Hockey...and it's May...
Man, this is hard. I usually have some NHL action to keep me occupado this time of year when I'm not leaving for a festival yet. So I have to read stuff like this.
See there were two types of dominate peoples,
1. The Big Man IS SON OF GOD!!! OBEY OR YOU WILL DIE!!! Big Government with laws and rules of order enforced by the supporters of the Big Man who is the SON OF GOD. Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Calyphs, the Chinese.
and
2. The Super Light Cavalry from the grasslands kicking ass and taking over through a fine knowledge of the natural world, using the belief that life is hard and only the hardest and fastest will eat enough of it's neighbor while making sure the neighbors don't eat you. The Mongols, the Hun, the Comanche, Kiowa and Cheyenne.
The white guys got lucky and hit America at just the right time. The Cheyenne and Comanches had just had enough time to figure out that dang horse and were starting to gear up, especially with the fancy new rifles. The small pox and related plagues hit them just as their numbers were rocketting out of the 1500's mini Ice Age. Another couple of generations without conquest and the American Native would have had a couple of huge wars and the victor would own the land between the Rockies and the Cumberland Gap.
This link is the story from 3000 or so Before the Common Era of the first group. These are the people who became the guys who built Classic Greece, Ancient Rome and the Sewers of Paris. They also became the Pharoah's Guard, the Centarians of the Legion, the Templars, the Teutonic Knights and the Corporate Rulers of the World.

*********************
Do you know what happened this week back in 1850, in California?
California became a state.
The State had no electricity.
The State had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gun fights in the streets.
So basically, it was just like California today except the women had real
breasts and men didn't hold hands.
*********************
Well, "I" thought it was funny . . . YVMV?

1. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah, and Chickasha.
2. You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are
sissies.
3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look
for a funnel.
4. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on
the highway.
5. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
6. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by
the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.
7. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
10. You measure distance in minutes. ("I'm about 5 minutes away.")
11. You refer to the capital of Oklahoma as "The City."
12. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in
an airplane crash.
13. Little smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.
14. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.
15. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
16. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

date.
18. You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than your

stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first.

is.
21. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all
in the same store.
22. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.
23. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is.
