[vicki595]

Let's see....I guess we owe the "white man" :   Flush toilets(Crapper), and then there are those two fools Steve Jobs and Bill Gates; there was a folly for you!    Oh wait!  What about that wild white guy who walked on the moon?


Some treaties were not honored...by any side....but look who is living where at the moment....ALL OF US.    Let's drop this now for the better;  I think we all still belong to the human race...

PEACE

Oh I know buddy were just having a little fun.  I am just glad that you are feeling better. Tesla was a super human thinker and inventor though.He was a crazily interesting guy.Hope you have a good evening and continue to feel better as the days go by.  Rick        ps   I got one    that will actually work .Ray Kurzweil invented text to voice technology and the first text reader for the blind.

[n8tiv_ndn]

Ric my brother .....let me take a moment here before this gets any further down the line here and say from my heart  ....my wasichu brother.....I harbour no ill-will towards any race of people as our Lakota words "mitakuye oyasin"  certainly extend to the White Man equally as anyone or anything else....Wakan Tanka created White Men too....I don't ever question the wisdom of Lila Wakan Tunkashila ....Wakan Tanka..... so let's give Tesla the credit .....he was so far ahead of his time..a most bright human-being.........but the debate spurred in this thread has us all thinking........Rice Power!!!!!........dok sha kola........

lol  back to the drawing board!  I wanted to give us electricity but tesla was serbian with some croatian lineage.Does that count??  lol
If not you can give us credit for harvesting inventions   too funny

[n8tiv_ndn]

Wait......wasn't Zuckerberg actually Jewish.......???........Still awaitnig an answer......lolol....

[ricart70]

Yes you can attribute facebook to us.   ode to uncle ben.....it has a certain ring to it.  lol

[n8tiv_ndn]

Hey ric.....and vicki.....I  .won't steal away any Thunder from the Navajo Nation.....they are my relatives indeed but that deal was all them Aho !! to the  Navajo Nation.......however I must ask, as I somehow started this debate with my Ode to Uncle Ben.........Is there anything I can credit the White Man for in my original statement and false acreditation(sp?)...??  .....

peace all
(this thread is so on it's way to Social Forum) lol....

I will however take this moment to say that the Lakota did win a war and obtain a valid treaty from the White  Man.....not that it was honored.......
Ft Larimie Treaty 1868.............

[ricart70]

OH that's right I forgot about the native american code vicki.    THank you for that n8tiv_ndn   and glad I am not saying     dankesohn lol
@vicki   I would like to live around there.I am really into ww2 history and I bet there is some great folklore to be heard about the area.
\   The closest I am in geography is Oak Ridge TN  where the seperating facility was.  That whole era as horrific as it was,seemed like such a bizarre time.

[vicki595]

Good point Rick..As some one who lives very close to Los Alamos,ergo all their history, this commentary is interesting. However, that is all I can say...

I do credit the native Americans with winning the war though...no one could beet the code talkers!!

[ricart70]

I have read this about percy spencer and the raytheon company.As I said
I was not sure if japan had invented or discovered it.They did however attempt to create a death ray using microwave technology.It failed miserably because it had to be within a few yards away from someone to even do minimal damage to them.They continued to focus their efforts on the death ray,meanwhile we developed and employed the atom bomb.The war may have turned out differently if japan had focused their efforts on the development of the atom bomb as opposed to the death ray.

[sandstone27]

The microwave was invented by an American engineer named Percy Spencer who worked for a commercial electronics company called Raytheon.  To my knowledge no "death rays" were ever involved.  :)
