 This is the nahuatl server isn't it?

<< One more thing.... I know that it is "cool" for us "indigenously
 advanced" chicanos  to call the Americas "Anahuac", a Nahuatl word.  But
 it is extremely arrogant to place a Nahautl name on a land of hundreds
 of INDIGENOUS NATIONS ( did I say that right yaoquichtli) that never
 spoke nahuatl.  Why not a lakota name, or a Yanomamo, or Quechua, or
 cupa, or chumash, or kwakiutl, or purepecha, or Comanche name????? Why
 not a universal Esperanto-bahai-lingua
 franca-televisa-CNN-coca-cola-toyota name like:

 Fufu
 Gagalandia
 tripalopa
 dollaria
 telefeliz

 better yet, lets call this land 011-252-555-1212

 Amoxtla........ >>
