I'm sorry, but I don't consider being branded either as condescending or
racist as being worthy of the label - a minor flame. The intext of my post has
absolutely NOTHING to do with environmental correctness (capitals - mean
shouting by the way, if I could send you NeXTMail or MIME format mail the font
I would use would be really really big.)

I am perfectly aware of a lot of the hunting practices of American Indians -
I'm sure that each are perfectly adequate for the job at hand. Modern day
tools and ecomonic greed have nothing to do with hunting.

The point I had in mind, which I may not have been adequately eloquent to put
across was that according to my understanding, true hunters have respect for
the animals they kill. I only used the example of American Indians so that
people reading this may have some understanding of what I was getting at.

If this needs more clarification, please let me know before making any accusations.
