Bluering for your next vacation may I suggest a tour of the Pine Ridge reservation. While you are there please ask the tribal folk if the chose the lifestyle imposed on them. Wake up and open your eyes. The mind may actually follow.

What do the want? How are they oppressed? What would make them 'better'?
Tami...I know the answer.

Why don't you go there and see for yourself. You yourself would never stand for that kind of life you blowhard fool!
Our government owes the tribals tens of billions that they refuse to forward or even account for. The highest infant mortality on the planet is on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Our Government turns a blind eye to their suffering so as to not acknowledge the debt owes to them.

I CHOOSE to not live in squalor while I raise a family.
I CHOOSE to support myself without help from anyone.
I SELECT a place to live that meets these standards.
Oli, that's what I thought.....

The tribal folks have NONE of those choices that you tout and take for granted.
Of course that is what you thought.
You know so little yet talk so much.

Really, Oli, they are forced to stay there????
This liberal crap is so old....either live like an Indian on your land in peace, or move and get a f*#king job like everyone else does!!!!
Don't bitch to me about oppression. The opportunity is there.

It's important amongst the flag waving and hot-dogs to reflect on how this country got to be where it is today. I'm not talking about "whining" or some sort or feminine kumbi-ya ceremony as so many Righties love to visualize while propping up the paper thin exterior of their supposed "Real Man-TM" self images, but just reflection and remembrance of the FACTS so that the regrettable and in-humane acts committed in the name of our flag are NOT REPEATED.

1491 is well worth a read.
I guess that bluering is white, young to middle aged and in reasonable health, came from a reasonably stable family background, finished high school if not some college, has a decent job, and would economically and culturally be considered middle class. It's unclear if an education in critical thinking was included in his many advantages.

Wes, you're surely wise (arrogant) enough to play this out, right? Ever play chess?
What do you think would have played out on this continent if the Yankee didn't CONSUME it?
Quit being a dick, play it out, smartguy. Surely you have some Utopian scenario that the Nazi's or Commie Chiners would have overlooked.
Lay it on me, egghead.
