Hey, mebbe Chief like to takum crack at SHQ 'Litmus Test' of theories of gravity..? :-) Ug, Heap Big Chief Bob prob'ly no havum crack, except maybe under scalp. g Real funny, using such native racial motivated terminology as a pun. I'm sure the American natives will understand, as to what little regard you and oc think of their native kind. *~ BG I commend you for taking a stand for American Indians, Brad. *In defense of the above, we were only "crack"ing a few jokes about Chief Bobby, and in no way was anything meant to be offensive to an entire people. Native Americans were put through hell by what Bob has jokingly referred to as "euro-land thieves". *But i assure you that it wasn't me, personally, who did all that, nor do i think oc, as much of an "old coot" as he is, was alive long ago enough to be held bigotedly responsible for the acts of our ancestors. American Indians fought long and hard, they are and were admirable warriors, to save their lands. *They were simply outnumbered, not outfought. *Whenever i read any texts about what they went through, i am truly filled with awe and inspiration by the experiences of Native Americans. As for you, i sincerely hope that you will... * * * *" E N D E A V O R * T O * P E R S E V E R E ! " g (quote is from Lone Watie, played by Chief Dan George in the film, "The Outlaw Josie Wales")... *http://thefirstamericans.homestead.c...DanGeorge.html Not only outnumbered, but whenever possible we hardly ever fought a fair fight, and as of today many of our native Indians are treated as though 3rd class or worse. To a great extent, we've made Ponzi Madoff look like a good guy compared to how we've screwed so many of our native population. Instead of a "no child left behind" policy, it was more like turning your kids over to the Taliban, or worse giving them over to GW Bush. For over a century our native Indians had been treated worse than any slave, including being left to starve and die, and there was little if any effort as to learn from their native expertise. Now it's too late to reverse what our actions and subsequent cultivated ignorance created. The creating of 9/11 was just the tip of our badly melting iceberg. At best we'll need to restart nearly from scratch, and hope to hell other nations do not unnecessarily take advantage if us while we're down. ~ BG |
