Do you go around telling other folk how to live their lives, what and how they can worship. The whale was the center point of the Makahs whole being. We, the whites, said 'No you can't do that anymore' when the treaty was looked at it said they could whale hunt, so they tried to revive it. They are humane, they can kill quicker with a rifle than with a spear. But, the goody two shoes had to interfer...I don't tell anyone how or what their religion should be.........

You were awfully quick to anger with Palo... she said she wouldn't block it, only that she didn't like it. I imagine you are mad at me too. Relax... we aren't carrying signs.

who am I to tell the Makahs what to do or not to do
it's none of my business
let them do whatever they want to do
our Creator gave us free will
I don't want to stop anyone from exercising it
Love, Palo

We did not get much snow at all...it snowed once for about five minutes and then a little later for about 3 minutes....but this snow is supposed to potentially coming to us for the next few days

HairoftheDog...I am like you, I have Nordic ancestry...my mom was 100 percent Norwegian...I cannot stand the hot weather...but I was born and raised in Chicago and learned to withstand their frosty frigid winters, and their hot and humid summers...then hubby, me and boys lived in North Carolina for five years, when hubby was transfered to Ft Bragg...that heat there was just awful...hot and humid...of course we had central air conditioning, and the car was air conditioned, and all the stores were air conditioned, so we managed...and of course, Ft Bragg had about 8 Olympic sized swimming pools, so me and the kids spent our summers at the pool...Palo you would have loved that...it was great fun...

But as far as climates go, I really love this temperate climate of the Pacific Northwest...
