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

Herb,
At one time we had a list member named Steve who had a problem with  spelling 
and grammar. At that time it was determined that spelling and  grammatical 
errors were not fair game. It simply would have been to easy.

Rummy

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.
