Well, you can meet plenty of deep thinkers without going Back East - just
because they don't get a place in the history books doesn't mean that
their thoughts are any less valid. To misquote one particular Deadlands
character "Jest because I got an accent on me don't mean I'm a idjit!"
A wise old shaman, an introspective travelling preacher, a disillusioned
war vet, even a schoolmarm - if you need somebody to show your posse the
folly of their actions, or get them to question their own actions, those
people are out there. :>)
