Well, I can remember a time when dealing with the many white immigrants to the American West certainly taxed my patience... :-)

Some of my friends at that time had the attitude that "the only good white-eye is a dead white-eye". These kind of ideas take hold of people and lead to all kinds of trouble...specially considering that he who lives by the vendetta generally ends up dying by it as well. Of course, some of us would rather go out with a bang than die quietly of old age. I seem to be going for the old age option in this life, having tried the "die young and have a good looking corpse" routine so many times before.
