How noble was the "noble savage"?

IMO, the main thing that distinguished the European savage from the indigenous savage was technological development. I take what Gandhi said re Western Civilization to apply to the very notion of civilization, and conclude that it remains a "good idea".

That said, Jackson was one of a handful of Democrats who opposed secession, he vigorously defended the US economy against the depredations of foreign bankers, and his duel against Charles Dickinson is the stuff of legend. So there!

Well America is still buying millions of gallons of oil from Russia when we could have been selling it to Europe instead of Russia. Brandon stopped U.S. oil production and his universal ineptness in the global stage has been given an Oscar. 

Congratulations Brandon you have lived up to your expectations, here have an ice cream. Now he will beg Iran for oil, maybe trade it for a few nukes.

I'm seeing a lot of chat saying that Putin is expected to address his nation and declare martial law at that time (this has not been confirmed). Run, Russians, run. If he does that, no one will get in and no one will get out.

It's $3.79 here. It went up like 10 cents in the matter of hours, leave town, it's one price, drive back through a few hours later and it's 10 cents higher.

I bet it's up to 4.50 by the end of next week. 5 days ago it was 98.00 a barrel today it's up to 1.10. This summer it will be 5.00 at least.

I'm not worried. My comment was nothing more than an observation.

I haven't given any thought to that except for posting the wise crack you're responding to.

I drove by a place today where I am sure I saw $4.86. I had to drive back to it to see how much I was off. $1
But I went to the Safeway and used my rewards points and paid $3.55.

If it gets too high I can walk to work and most places. I'm not worried.
