There were still some, but they       didn't have the resources to do anything, so never got powerful.              Other areas that didn't get industrialized kept the old hunter-gatherer       mentality and that mentality moved with them as they moved. Ex: The old       American South.               AT> We need physical division representative to our political division; we        AT> need the free thinkers to band together in the southeastern states to        AT> do the farmwork, and the hunter-gatherers to band together in the        AT> northern states to hunt all the wild animals to extinction.              Ick.
