This joke was sent to me and it is worth sharing, as it has elements of
humor and tragedy that makes us all, I think, understand
better the human condition:

The best system ever created:

An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial
pipe and eyeing two U.S. government officials sent to interview him.
"Chief Two Eagles," asked one official, "You have observed the white man for
90 years. You've seen his material wealth. You've seen his progress. You've
seen his wars." The chief nodded in agreement. The official continued,
"Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go
wrong?"
The chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then
calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No
taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all the work,
medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night
having sex."
Then the chief leaned back and smiled, "Only white man dumb enough to think
he could improve system like that."
