I just got the, whatever, below. It took me a few minutes to figure out what
it was all about. But here we go again, all of the world's problems are the
fault of white males doing whatever it is white males do. I just finished
the last of Robert Anton Wilsons _Cosmic Trigger_ trilogy and he knocks the
crap out of this idea far better than I could. Why, oh why, must some
environmentalists blame all white males for all the problems? And, probably
worse, why do they make environmental saints out of "Indians" (I'm meaning
this in the generic of any aboriginal group)? This sort of single minded
simplicity is worthless.

All generalizations, including this one, are untrue.

Subject: White Man's Fall
Mid August,
dry, dry, dry.
Leaves are brown
falling
crunching under feet.
Warm weather,
naked trees.
It could be Indian Summer,
but there has been no frost.
Could be White Man's Fall.
