An old Indian chief named Two Eagles was once asked by a white man, who was also a government official, "You have observed the white man for many years. You've seen his wars and all of his technological advances. You've seen his progress as well as his mistakes."
Chief Two Eagles nodded in agreement.
The official then continued, "Considering everything that you have seen, what do you think?"
Chief Two Eagles stared at the government official for a long long time and then calmly replied, "When white man first arrive in Indian land, everything o.k. No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty corn, plenty beaver, plenty clean water. No pollution. Indian women did all work around house. Medicine man, he give free treatment to anyone sick. Indian men spend all day hunting and fishing; and having sex all night."
Then the chief leaned back, smiled, and after a long pause, finally said, "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
