You know Santabrat, you are a BRAT in the truest sense of the word.

If a whole tribe of santabrats ate off the floor, I'd say it WOULD make him and his people uncivilized.

But I already had him pegged as such.

Where have I singled out a single person on this board to mock, call names, act an ass to for their namesake only, etc?

Show me, where these lovely religious-types continue to persecute others.. the tides have turned.

Ummm...your entire post in which you spouted off inacurate information regarding Native Americans, for starters.

I'm not religious. I'm spiritual. Why don't you and Brain get together and do some research on the TRUE Native American ways.

Few tips to get you started. Many of them lived in houses. Tepees were for the nomadic tribes only. And...the Cheroke have the honor of having one of the OLDEST school systems in history.

Old Soul, I'm not surprised that you've chosen not to avail yourself of the benefits to which you're entitled. The Indians had a symbiotic relationship with nature, they wasted nothing. They're a wonderful culture, and they were screwed out of their land. I for one have absolutely NO PROBLEM with Indians receiving compensation in the form of benefits they deserve.

One of the ineteresting things I love about them is that they understood their need for meat, and yet had such a deep love for all life that it left them with a sense of sorrow after a hunt. It's why they honor their prey. And they didn't kill more than they could eat. No over foresting, no over fishing...

In many native familes who are not enrolled with tribes, who live amongst white men as fellow white men, would NEVER sit back and allow the government to take care of their own. Not any that I know of, any way.

I understand. Indians are a proud people who carry their own weight. But the way I see it, the benefits are compensation, not charity...and they (the benefits) dont go far enough!

Those who have been displaced are already dead, this new generation needs no compensation, because since Old Soul speaks for his entire race, he says there is no need for the charity dollar, so let's just cut off their funds entirely. Good plan.

Well that wild Irish man I am married to just peeked in at me and scowled that I am on my computer. Said he's waiting for his squaw. I'll have to carry on this debate tommoro. Can't wait to see what bull**** Brain digs up in his "research". LOL.
