Dubious history from liberal intellectuals with an agenda. As Pirsig
points out: "Primitive tribes such as the American Indians have no record
of sweetness and cooperation with other tribes. They ambushed them,
tortured them, dashed their children's brains out on rocks." (Lila, 24) In
other words, the killed each other off long before we arrived on the
scene. Some Indian groups are more populous today than in 1492.
