Just try to imagine a “do gooder” trying to help the tribes by dissolving the reservation system and integrating them into American society.

Well, that's the $64,000 question...how do you do that when the Indians won't cooperate.

It's been tried twice, and it has failed twice...

The Dawes General Allotment Act

Indian termination policy

...."how do you do that when the Indians won't cooperate."...

Well, I generally make a rum and coke and sit on the patio thinking of other things. I learned a long time ago some things I can't fix. Trying to keep dopers from killing themselves, keeping alcoholics from another drink, and keeping clothes on teenagers is just about impossible. The Indians have been programed that they were happy till we came and they could still be happy if we just made things "right" for them. They see no need for themselves to change a bit. I used to have conversations with Democrats that hunt, have guns, love babies hate homo's, go to church every Sunday, wave the flag in their front yard, hate taxes, eat meat, fight in the wars, respect the military, and on and on and on. Then they vote for Obama.

Some people can't be fixed.
