My dad was trying to convince me that the Atlantic Monthly is the liberal press. It's cool how I'm generally more informed than he is now.
For instance, he said the term indian, then he was like 'Sorry, NATIVE AMERICAN' because he considers me to be a hippie, and I schooled him. I was like 'dude, the term indian is derived from the word indigenous, meaning intrinsic, or occuring naturally in an area, [From Latin indigena, a native ; see indigen.] whether colombus thought he was in india or not, well, I just don't know.
It's like those tree crazy aborigine. The word has come to mean the native people of australia, but it seems to me like it simply applies to their state of living. Which is swinging from branch to branch! Odd considering they're primarily a desert people.
I don't see why we don't just refer to them as SAVAGES. I'm a fucking savage. Why the fuck arn't they fucking savages.
