I thought you'd be interested in this reply to Ginger's reply to you. (I also replied to Ginger's earlier post)

Of course, getting high is universal, pick yer pison. Your premise, however, is that alcohol introduced by whites is CAUSE of "most of the violence and warfare amongst NAms...." That's where you're running into pushback.

Thanks, I saw your response earlier. I don't understand this need to excuse the NAm or blame the Europeans for NAm violence. Humans are violent and territorial, we were when the neanderthal and homo sapiens were running into each other. It is well known that other groups of NAm, like the Maya and Aztec were warring, sacrificing and eating each other, and the practice extended southward into Chile and Peru.
