1.EXACTLY (except that the $$$$$$$ in the TRUST FUND "mysteriously disappeared" during the misrule of wee willie klintoon!)

2.THANKS! i really have no dog in the reservation fight, as we Cherokees don't have one. however, ending the reservation system is likely a good thing.

RWR suggested exactly what you've suggested in 1980. good idea then,good idea now.

fwiw, BIA stands for "Boss Indians Around".

some years ago, Wayne Newton offered to give the "startup money" for a "strip shopping center" to the Sioux Youth Fund, with the idea that they could "get on their feet" by running the various businesses therein.

the BIA sent Newton a letter telling him that Indians COULD NOT LEARN to run a shopping center & that he "should not waste his money". (i have seen a copy of the letter.)

can you imagine what the media would have said if that were said about ANY other racial/ethnic group????

Have you looked inside that Social Security Trust Fund lately? Nuthin' but a bunch of IOU's. One doesn't have to be Indian to get ripped off.

Privatize, then privatize & then privatize some mo'...

" Indians COULD NOT LEARN"...

Dollars to doughnuts that was written by a democrat. I don't suppose the idiot signed it by any chance, did he?

And BTW, I've enjoyed this exchange. I didn't think you & I would get to this place without one of us imploding in a stream of epithets. Thanks for keeping engaged.

at least the SS system's IOUs are US government bonds/T-bills/etc.

the Indian Trust Fund is simply GONE! (one presumes it was stolen, as it is EMPTY!)

even at my age, i'd opt OUT of social security, if they'd just give me the money i've had "withheld" back. PRIVITZATION is the REAL DEAL. (ask the employees of Galveston County, TX how they like THEIR non-SS system!)

OF COURSE it was a DIMocRAT that signed it. (i've forgotten his name-his title was something like "deputy chief for administration, BIA")

i only "explode into a stream of epithet"s, when damnyankees start telling STUPID,self-righteous, hateFILLED, arrogant, self-serving LIES about our flag/memorials/hero-martyrs and/or denying that the lincoln coven of thugs & the union army supported/committed HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of mass rapes/tortures/abuses/arsons/robberies/lootings/assaults/MURDERS/etc on helpless CSA POWs & innocent UNarmed civilians.

otherwise, i'm fairly CALM on FR.

Well then, I guess that's our next endevour. I have an opposing point of view but I'm more than willing to listen to what you have to say & then rebut. Are you up for it? Or will I end up just spewing "STUPID,self-righteous, hateFILLED, arrogant, self-serving LIES about our flag/memorials/hero-martyrs and/or denying that the lincoln coven of thugs" yadda-yadda?

frankly, i do NOT think that you are a BLIND fool/BIGOT/ RACIST like SOME of the REVISIONIST/STATIST/damnyankee coven on FR.

being a LOYAL unionist does NOT require one to be PREJUDICED against everything/everyone in dixie.
