Replying to LO22097 --

Sorry Doc,

You know I have always admired your posts but this last one bears some
adding to. I read this morning in the NYTimes how the Serbs had destroyed
the bodies that they dug up in a mine and how the smell around the furnace
and the acid vats was a pungent slightly sweet smell. The same smell that
was noted by the ethnologist Henry Rowe Schoolcraft around the Army posts
in the American west during the 19th century. It seems that Indian skulls
were going for $600 (Franz Boas) per, all in the interest of science. A
thought worthy of Mengele at the very least to we Native folks. The main
difference was that as Goldhagen had to struggle to prove that the average
German was culpable (because of the obvious hierarchy in the government)
proving culpability in the murderous past in America is rather like trying
to herd a flock of cats.
