Subject: A conversation in the airport passenger lounge...
>>>
>>>
>>>Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger
lounge
>>>in Bozeman, Montana, while awaiting their respective flights.
>>>
>>>One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer. Another is a
>>>cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show and the third
>>>passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana
>>>State University from the Middle East
>>>
>>>Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two
>>>Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim, and the
>>>conversation falls into an uneasy lull
>>>
>>>The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine
>>>table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The
wind
>>>outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is
flapping;
>>>but still no plane comes.
>>>
>>>Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks,
"At
>>>one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."
>>>
>>>The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people
>>>were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that
is?"
>>>
>>>The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and
>>>from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl. .
>>>"That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do
believe
>>>it's a-comin'."
