tarek,
is that Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière, aka deadliest u-boat commander of the war?There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

Ok,back to Native American history for a minute.This warrior chieftain pulled together a confederacy of tribes that before his untimely death,could have greatly retarded westward expansion in the United States.The rough English translation of his name means "Panther passing across",a reference to the presence of a meteor crossing the night sky at the time of his birth."Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories." Thomas Jefferson
