"I will join this debate no more, forever! (Chief Sitting Bull-Pucky)" Your mis-attributing the paraphrased quote to the wrong Chief. It was uttered by Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce (Pierced Nose)which originally occupied the four corners region of the North West. It was made after surrendering to the army of general "Bear Coat" Miles after leading them on a chase of over 3,000 miles towards the Canadian boarder"...I shall fight no more, forever."

Thanks for the history... being from the great north west I am familar with the Nez Perce. o O (note to self... when attempting humor, point it towards people that don't know the truth)

Also, mis-attributing the paraphased quote is similar to my tag line
