see y'all2nd try at sleep tonight
*fingers crossed*

Hugz_n_Kissez: Not to mention it was a joke to boot...anyway...I can fully ignore people like that...whatever problem they have is theirs not mine....

Hugz_n_Kissez: Nope it's not...and I have no time for it....just when ya think ya know people...ya don't...

Hugz_n_Kissez: Whatever...please don't bother talking to me...I have no time for your BS..oh and you missed my personal invitation since you don't live that far away...come down anytime to the rez and tell everyone to their faces just how you believe they should act and conduct themselves...oh and who they should be while you're at it....I'll personally be glad to drop you off.....

Hugz_n_Kissez: Yes well you know me...It's not like I listen and it's my right to do so...no matter how many people tell me that....

Hugz_n_Kissez: No that's not true...it's the fact that the injustices have never gone away that's the problem...education etc is not a reperation...it's part of treaty agreements for land....so is medicine and the right to gamble...sure it's a business opportunity and a good one...but these decisions are ones that should left up to the Native communities themselves...not allowed by anyone.....the years in residential schools...the families that were harmed...the abuse that occurred....the kids that were lost....the assimilation process maybe history to those who didn't live it...but we still live it every day...it's not old and it's not dragging up....it's reality of generations of dysfunction and abuse....those things can never be reparated.....there isn't enough money in existence.....I speak from experience...my grandfather attended one of those schools and the result was just what described....and I lived with that all my life because of it...so it's not just the people who attend that suffer...it's every generation after....that's what people don't get and what they fail to understand...your history is our reality today.....and it hasn't gone away for us...and maybe it never will.....money is small in comparison.....not to mention...we still don't manage our own natural resources on our own territories...nor do we get any profits from them...if this took place communities probably wouldn't have to resort to things like gambling....they would have their own natural resources to sustain their own communities....and land bases are no where near what the original treaties granted....because much of it was sold off illegally....hence the reason for land claims today...So nobody's asking for a handout...only what is originally ours to begin with....the lands struck in the original treaty agreements...the natural resources located on those lands...and anything else that stems from government original agreements....we don't want to be taken care of...we want to be able to take care of ourselves and our communities....just like any other community....but we haven't got back or regained the proper resources to do so...yet.....

Hugz_n_Kissez: I can defend myself quite nicely....but I normally don't have to do it against pitiful men who get a kick out of putting women down...calling them names and just generally being an asshole...and You would be the weak one...not me...you shot off your fat mouth without even having a clue what you were talking about...but oh..as long as it sounds good...who gives a shit right...and not to mention...who you have to put down in the process so you can be right....Yep...I just love those at anyones expense kind of people....So if ya want...You're right...feel better now...more macho....manly...whatever????

Hugz_n_Kissez: Really now...my god how manly of you...I guess picking on a woman is easier than actually being a real man and having it out with another man...Gosh I admire men like you...I can see you work for the Feds....and yes I am and will be impossible..when someone challenges me on something they know nothing about...but I live it...breath it...read it and deal with it...every day....yet they think they know more than I do...

Hugz_n_Kissez: Yeah ok...good job....and yeah people like you keep me in my job too...only it's usually fighting a case for racism or human rights...not implementing the laws of the feds....

Ocee35: I said this awhile ago, but it seems somehow relevant.

"I'm not sure most people understand, from a money is power veiwpoint, just how powerfull the U.S. is. I did a little checking, and was honestly suprised by what I found.

The following numbers are the result of very limited internet research. I make no claim to their accuracy, but I found them interesting...

The U.S. Gross National Product is more than double that of any other country.

Per capita our G.N.P is 25 percent higher than any other country.

U.S. military expenditures account for over 40 percent of the military spending on the planet.

Those expenditures are greater than the Gross National Product of all but less the 15 countries in the world.So...

For those that point fingers and say "My country would never do that". In many cases your country CAN'T do that. There is a difference.

For those of us who may have a direct input to the stewardship of such power, I say "We have a heavy responsibility, lets do our best to mind it."*disclaimer*
To some this may have sounded boastfull. So I want to be clear...
I don't see power as intrinsically good or bad, but this level of concentration of power does make me somewhat uncomfortable." A bit of dis-ease by those who are not citizens of this country in more the understandeable,

and is shared by some of us here.Ya...it's a real opinion,

devoid of sarcasm and duplicity,

don't get used to it.

Hugz_n_Kissez: Yeah workin for the Feds really makes a difference...I know cause I used to work for them too...Try working on behalf of real people for once and making a real difference...I know I do and have....

Hugz_n_Kissez: Your an advocate for injustice? Your the reason we have stupid laws.........[/quoteAnd your the reason we have ignorance.....when's the last time you got off your ass to do anything but come to the forums and whine????

I'll bet never...but then that's typical....

Hugz_n_Kissez: Fuck you...I'm not your citizen or a Canadian citizen for that matter.... I am and always will be a North American Indian...and if you don't understand why...it's not my job to explain...but if you think I have to be like you to be someone...you're dead wrong....and more f'd up in the head than I thought....And you're right I wasn't the first one here...my ancestors were and I am willing to bet a hell of a lot longer than before yours arrived on the boat.....
