As to the pr...So where on the map are the Wyandot?<br /><br />As to the priest, some of the early missionaries to Japan and Korea were considered unclean and smelly, too. It took a bit of education for the various Orders of priests to learn to send non-crazy and clean priests.<br /><br />Unfortunately, far too often, the missionary priests were the idiot outcasts of various orders, banned from civilization for one reason or another, and, thus, not a great example of Christianity. Sigh. Thus, well, much harm had been and still is by 'uncivilized' missionaries.<br /><br />Blue Otter should have, upon hearing what the raiding party did, pulled up stakes and bugged out. But, well, home and all that. Hope some of them escape.<br /><br />And the hook is set deeply indeed. I can smell the river water, hear the sounds of the forest, feel the sunlight dappling through the tree canopy.

Though it may seem long in terms of our lives, we enjoy but a momentary respite, in the grand tragic opera. The ignorance of today's youth is proof that the safeguards against the horrors of war and strife are melting away. The old and wise, who have seen such horrors, become fewer and fewer, and the young no longer seek their wisdom...and history will again repeat itself.Tank Killerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955019760069183088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-48203930262145284432021-05-21T07:29:49.103-07:002021-05-21T07:29:49.103-07:00Well, it was a fair question...Well, it was a fair question...OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-72994782703154084152021-05-21T07:28:26.367-07:002021-05-21T07:28:26.367-07:00Any time there is a clash of cultures things get d...Any time there is a clash of cultures things get dicey.
