I'm not called Utah Savage for nothing. I kno...J. I'm not called Utah Savage for nothing. I know literally nothing about the technology wars, but I do know a thing or two about the culture of capitalism wars. And with a native american heritage, I wince every time the word "savage" or "indian" is used. This has almost nothing to do with what you are saying in this paper. It's just my particular visceral response to the notion of conquest and the characterization of any indigenous culture as "savage," thus dismissing them as less than, and disposable, to be raped, pillaged and plundered, then used or killed. I can't get much beyond this vision of white male frontier, conquest, manifest destiny, entitlement. Blam, I'm up against the wall of my own inability to understand this view of the other as possession, or disposable. It is a very dark place beyond this barrier, this frontier.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.com
