6. How many horses are native to the Americas? See any lions here?
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 04:22 PM by DinoBoy
Cheetahs? Camels? Elephants? Rhinos? Do you see glyptodonts in South America? How about giant Kangaroos in Australia? How about any trees on Easter Island?

I realize that some in the environmental movement look to "ancient" wisdom of native peoples around the world for guidance, but this wisdom is at best newly acquired, and at worst, completely invented. The history of the human species has been one of environmental devastation almost immediately upon the first arrival of humans.

ON EDIT: made the last sentence make more sense.
