“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn’t have any kind of prison.
Because of this, we had no delinquents.
Without a prison, there can be no delinquents.
We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.
When someone was so poor that he couldn’t afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift.
We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property.
We didn’t know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth.
We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.

Notes

It amazes me how quick we are to forget the disaster that BP caused in the Gulf of Mexico. Deepwater Horizon devastated so many ecosystems, but yet here we are still buying their gas for our cars. Every time I drive by a BP gas station I see a few cars there filling up their tanks. Why don’t we stop buying their gas from their stations? Punish them by lowering their total revenue thus showing other gas companies that we have purchasing power. Oil companies control us, but that needs to change.
