5. I think that is so wrong.

What in the hell is wrong with the government. They stick these people on reservations, still, and then leave them. Here on the Iron Range in Minnesota, you see a lot of Indians. And when I see them I think, this was their country we stole it. Even if they do have all those casinos here in Minnesota, there are a lot without money. Just like the whites, they that have it, don't spread it around to their "cousins". In fact they had lawsuits to stop some of the tribe from collecting money. They said they did not have direct lines, they were not with the 1/16 or 1/8 or something. As much as they make from the casinos they don't want to share.

6. Okay! Once something's been lost you'll have to fight "double-ly hard" to get it back

The 'trick' is to not "lose it in the first place".....we've put ourselves way beyond the last 'eight ball'.

10. Hell yeah

I love to intimidate my more conservative co-workers with my "Homeland Security--fighting terrorism since 1492" mouse pad. Sometimes I just love being a member of a "defeated culture" :evilgrin:

I'm so glad that Keith Olbermann brought attention to what's been happening in the Great Plains. I was wondering where in hell was FEMA, or the BIA, or anybody. It was -19F a day or 2 ago and so many people without heat, yet it never made the news. And folks wonder why we get bitter...

11. Wonder where the horse came from?

:crazy:

12. the Spanish introduced horses to N. America.

Native America immediately developed an intrinsic relationship with the horse.
