There was never a whale age or a buffalo age. Both are renewable resources, where preferable alternatives have been selected, while both are still available. The elimination of the nomadic life style dependant on Buffalo was a strategy of war where certain people, the Plains Indians, were defeated in war when their supply line was cut. If you were referring to Plains Indian history alone (that wasn't the context), I think you could justify it as an age for that sub-group but again it is a renewable resource and the era legitimately ended when everyone, Indians included, moved on to the cultural and technical advances available. Buffalo are still available and if that was the best 'know how,' we would all be using it.

I know you already know that. But, hey, screw with it if that's what gets you off, I don't care.

btw I did notice your dodge... does YOUR hair hurt too much ...
