There are two kinds of white men. There are the Americans, and there are the
others. You may give your hand in
friendship to the French, or the Spaniards, or the British. But the Americans are not like those. The Americans come from the slime of the sea,
with mud and weeds in their claws, and they are a kind of crayfish serpent
whose claws grab in our earth and take it from us.
-Tenskwatawa, the Shawnee prophet
Somehow that reminds me of the following Biblical passage:
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise
up out of the sea.
-Revelation 13:1
As we come to the end of an age (per the Mayan calendar), take some time to think about who we really are and what we're really doing. Not just the crap they tell you on TV, but what the other 7 billion people on this planet think about us.
