Some Satire from Dartmouth College

The satirist says that the depiction of cowboys and Indians defames modern Americans:

"The symbol of the American Cowboy is an offensive and inaccurate representation of my contemporary American identity. Do I savagely round cattle and use a Smith and Wesson six-shooter? Do you see me, the modern American, herding domesticated animals and using the Pony Express instead of mail? How can people sleep at night when they shout "Howdy" as a salutation to friends? How dare they!

It is of course a reaction to claims by some modern-day Indian malcontents that Wild West depictions defame them. See my previous post of Dec. 14th.
