Thanks CT.

I try to find aricles that aren't too obviuos about pushing an "agenda" one way or the other.

I seem to remember in most John Wayne movies he always played a character who had a lot of respect for his Indian opponents and didin't make them out to be the typical Hollywood sterotypes.

Thank you so much for this explanation Matt.

We help you, but it's just symbolic and practically means nothing...

It does mean something, we appreciate you as allies and you have sacrificed soldiers to the cause for us and for freedom for many years.

Don't say your resisitance to the Soviets was symbolic and meant nothing. We weren't occupied and didn't have to fight from within. It's a lot easier to keep your Freedom than to have to try and regain it. Poland never gave up hope.

Yep. That wonderful fight scene in McClintock begins when Wayne saves an Indian from a lynching. About the only serious scene in the movie is when he pleads the Indians' case to kangaroo court.

But don't confuse the liberals with the facts.

Depends.
Is it in the best interest to cast one or is it merely fashionable.

It's a good scene and shows how the politicians used the "indian Problem" for their own gain. Some things never change.

This would make a great tagline. ;-)

I guess we got lucky....this rain system was supposed to come through over the weekend according to earlier forecasts and would have been out of here by now.

Glad it waited til our bonfires were burned down to almost nothing to move in. Of course, now we'll have to wait to light the next ones.

We have several groundhogs that live on the farm and if any poked their heads out, they probably didn't stay out long. Too wet. LOL!

It might be off topic, but an interesting thread would be the Santa Fe Indian Ring. I wonder how many wars they were behind?

Hmmmmmm, good question. Have to stew on that one.

Picking on me for my sometime lack of casting a sadow.
*sniff*

Looking at the one pic on my joke of a bio page.. I'm not casting a shadow..
There may be something to that after all.
I'm casting one now.
Hmm...

Hi Doo,

You are probably gone by now, but want to tell you its good to hear from you. We had a gorgeous day today. The temp was above 32 so there was a fair amount on thawing. Weather Channel says we have a bell ringer coming in tomorrow with a drop in temps. :-( Take care Doo. :-)
