Colorado USA area snow storm
Stormin Mormon
is getting a snow storm before the rest of the country. Do
we have anyone in that area?
Are the roads passable? Is the power on? Are the critical
systems like grocery stores working?
Everyone OK?

You know, I've always wondered about that.
Why is the eastern quarter of the US the mid west?

There were three of them in the US, and one in Canada. We kept redefining
the Northwest Territory in the US as we moved westward. The one Pyotr is
referring to was the first, which included Ohio.
I mean, when Pittsburgh is the western frontier of civilization, what do you
call Cincinnati?

"That blue-law town in the southwest of the Ohio territory where they
roll up the streets at 9:00PM."
That description also applies now that Cincinnati is in the Eastern US.:)

It is, now, if you are Canadian. If you are Pakistani, or old
British Raj, the Northwest Territories are that region near the Afghan
border.

of snow since last night. Southwest CO got nailed, 3' or better,
60-70 mph winds. And it's all headed east. Maybe 1-2" on my porch
rail right now.
As far as midwest, I consider Denver the eastern edge of the West.
Anything east of the Mississippi is the East, and you can keep it.

It all depends on your situation. I'm from that part of the
country which considers Denver as "back East" some where. 'Over near
Chicago, I think.'
I'm reading Niall Ferguson's "The Ascent of Money" and he has a
chapter on "Chiamerica" - how China and the US for a long time had a
symbiotic economic relationship - and everybody was getting rich (at
least, locally). But at one point he writes "For a time it seemed
like a marriage made in heaven. The East Chimericans did the saving,
the West Chimericans did the spending." Say what? The Americans did
the spending .. oh, he's got that east coast/Europe "Atlantic Centric"
perspective, where the US is "west" and the China is "east". But here
on the US Left coast, umm ... China is "west", and the "Americans" are

It was named before "the west was won"? ;-)
Maybe the right-coasters think everything to the left of Indiana is "The

When I moved to CA from MN, the left-coasters called MN "back east." ;-)

Actually, it was never the "frontier of civilization". The Original
Americans were civilized for hundreds of years before the white Europeans
brought them measles, smallpox, dysentery, plague, cholera, alcohol, etc.,
and steamrollered over the "treaties," raping their women and slaughtering
men, women, and children.

One of the Huntress women was kidnapped with another woman and a young boy
by Iroquois, during one of the early wars of the French and Indian series.
She killed four of them while they slept, scalped them, and collected �50
for the scalps. It isn't recorded whether she had them in a bag or just
handed them over by the hair.
Anyway, attitudes have changed over the years. To my early New Hampshire
relatives, the raiding "Original Americans" allied with the French were just
another type of fur-bearing animal.

You just described Medieval Europe's concept of "Civilization".
Also Rome's, Stalinist Russia's, and Nazi Germany's.
Thus, by European Standards, the practices you described would seem to be
the very definition of "Civilization".
Gunner Asch
I also just described Native American culture prior to the whiteman
showing up..as well as long afterwards.
If you think Native Americans were peaceful people...you are absolutely
nutz.
While they didnt kill entire tribes...they often killed enough of them
that taking over the rest of them was easy.

The "war bride" school of cultural diffusion. Remember the Romans
and the Sabine women?
There's a tribe down in the Carib, where the women speak a
different language than the men, because way back when all the men
were killed, and the women spared.

No, Mike, Ed is a champion for zero tolerance of racist intolerance, a
socially progressive vituperative critic of those who say or write
words that anyone might regard as having any racist implication. See
previous RCM thread: "Where it all began" 11/30/2009
It was Ed's early New Hampshire relatives that regarded "original
Americans" as fur-bearing animals. Perhaps Ed merely repeats it here
as a historical note to ensure that we don't forget how some of our
ancestors regarded "original Americans".

According the poster to which you were responding, "Civilization"
referred to - and only to - the building/occupation of cities. <grin>
By either "definition" Western Hemisphere pre-Columbian and -Viking
residents would have been considered "Civilized".
Their level of science/mathmatics rivalled and, in some cases, exceeded
Europeans. <GRIN>

Well, what goes on in the sweat lodge, stays in the sweat lodge.
There is, however, the situation of "amoral familialist" - that is
to say, there is Us Human Beings, and the rest. One does not lie to,
or steal from, Human Beings. Neither shall you murder, rape or
otherwise be antisocial to Human Beings. But those outside the tribe
- they don't really count, so its not like you're doing something
'bad'.
A more modern example is what happened post Kristalnacht. Several
National Socialist Workers Party members were expelled after it was
learned that they had raped some Jews. Not for the rapes, per se, but
for having sexual relations with Jews. (Wie sagt man "eeuuwww"?)

All true.

Not at all. I said the *raiding* "original Americans.
Do you know what the Iroquois were doing on the New Hampshire and Maine
coasts? Have you ever studied the French and Indian Wars?
The French hired them as mercenaries in Quebec, because they were the most
vicious and ruthless killers of the Indian tribes. They paid them and sent
them down to the coast, where they murdered hundreds of English settlers and
burned their homes -- with the people inside. They did it for fun -- almost
the entire reason for living, for an Iroquois male, was to kill other
people -- but it took some money to send them all the way down from Quebec.
They raped, burned, and slaughtered any English they found. Before long, the
English settlers got pissed about this and started killing Iroquois. As I
mentioned, one of my relatives had been kidnapped (during an Iroquois attack
on Bloody Point) and she killed four of them in their sleep, smashing their
heads in with rocks, and scalped them for the bounty offered by
Massachusetts Colony. The bounties in Massachusetts started at 50 pounds but
had dropped to 12 pounds, 10 shillings by the time she turned in her scalps.
That still was serious money. Since a dead Iroquois was therefore quite
valuable, they became something like beavers became to later settlers. d8-)
With good reason. The Iroquois were not some poor race that had been
enslaved and then marginalized for the entertainment of white trash that
needed someone to put down, so they could feel better about themselves. They
were predatory animals that happened to be human.

'Don't know about your ancestors. Mine were friendly with the Abenakis and

I've never scalped an Iroquois, myself.

Only briefly and decades ago.

Finn for sure, probably some Sami in the stew. Grandmother was from
Oulu and I have slightly squinty eyes.
