Quick! This thread is bogging down! Cut to the chase! Blow something up (preferably with the protagonist casually walking away with great balls of fire back lighting him)!

In Pawnee, the word for "People" is "Pawnee". Oddly enough, the word for "The People" in the Lakota is "Lakota". In the Pomo dialect it is "Pomo" and in Yokuts it is "Yokuts". See a pattern here? Hence the brutality. Kinda like "Gook" or , well, you get the picture. I don't want to offend anyone by siting examples. The point is, if you want to justify abuse and maltreatment, first you dehumanize the other guy!
