[Rhodes22-list] for Brad's eyes and those who reason only ...

My my Slim, little overboard there, aren't you?

Nah, I don't REALLY want to put my 1099 up. I figured John would bow 
out. He did.
You missed the percentage, by a considerable amount.
I don't belong to a fundamentalist church.
The church I belong to doesn't really tell me to do much of anything. 
I've been there a while, they know that telling me what to do doesn't 
work well
Probably about 1/2 of what we give to charity goes to our local church. 
There are several other entities that we give to as well.
Cheerleader? Wow. Because I ride with a group of guys that pay their 
respects at funerals? And you call ME "a bore".

I think if you'll reread my post, I never said anything similar to "the 
white man didn't take it away from them". As a matter of fact, I think I 
said just the opposite. They were defeated by a stronger enemy. Look a 
little closer to home for the idiot.

I don't care to kiss your ass, not really into that, but feel free to 
invite what guys you can find that are. And, I don't care where you were 
born, you're still an idiot. If you were born on the Sisseton 
reservation in SD, I'd figure you'd at least know the tribe was Sisseton 
not Sissiton.

And, I never said anything about fences, but some tribes most definitely 
had concepts of "land ownership". They defended their hunting grounds 
against other tribes as fiercely as the white man defended their fences. 
Two cultures clashed, the more advanced of the two prevailed.

But, it's a moot point. I was talking about the founding fathers, not 
the "white man" in general. The founding fathers were not involved in 
breaking treaties, decimation of tribes, or the spreading of smallpox. 
South Dakota was the still the mostly unexplored frontier, and I don't 
think they (the founding fathers) had much exposure to the Sisseton tribe.

And none of that has anything to do with John's stupid statement about a 
"final solution".

I don't have much in the way of charity or compassion for folks that are 
long since gone. Not much I can do for them.
