Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump
Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Alberta, Canada bears witness to a custom practised by native people of the North
American plains for nearly 6000 years.
Native Americans would panic buffalo herds into throwing themselves off a cliff. The hunters would then gorge
themselves sick.
Modern Americans are just as naïve
as buffalo, allowing the insurance companies to panic them into paying twice what people in any other developed
country does for the worst care in the developed world — on par with Cuba in outcomes. Check the
IMR (Infant Mortality Rate)
stats on the CIA website for
yourself.

An early version of this article appeared in Java
Developers’ Journal (volume 2 issue 6). I also spoke on this topic in 1997-11 at the Colorado Summit Conference. It has been gradually
growing ever since. I have had quite a few requests for permission to build links here.
You are welcome to create links, but please don’t repost the essay since the
original changes frequently.
If you enjoyed this essay you might enjoy other parts of the website. Have a look at
my home page or the Java Glossary which is a central place to find out everything you ever
wanted to know about Java or perhaps my Gay & Black Glossary.

the right thing.
