"an old war-leader retorted every paragraph he had spoken, and told him, that till then he always had reckoned the English a very wise people, but now he was sorry to find them unwise, in the most material point: adding, "You have made yourself very poor, by sweating, far and near, in our smoky town-houses and hot-houses, only to make a peace between us and the Cheerake, and thereby enable our young mad people to give you, in a short time, a far worse sweat than you have yet had, or may now expect. But, forasmuch as the great English chieftain in Charles Town, is striving hard to have it so, by ordering you to shut your eyes, and stop your ears, lest the power of conviction should reach your heart?I should be as mad as you, if I reasoned any more with one who is willfully blind and deaf." these old Indians are so very wise. Make sure every time they speak, it?s something so profound. And make sure every time there?s young warriors, they?re like ignorant, combative gang members, to show young people how downright stupid gang members and hotheads are.
