LOL! Yes, that first sank in when I was in an Indian grocery store in Portland, Oregon. This Indian woman wanted to start some political argument and said "You (meaning the US) wouldn't sell us advanced weapons!"

I said "Please, you're free people, smart too, and there's 1 billion of you. You want a weapon, build the damn thing yourself, where do you think ours came from? Down from the sky?". And the Indian gentleman who owned the shop cleared his throat and she shut up.

But ever since then I've taken a shine to telling these folks from other places to attend to their own damn affairs and not address me as as their "Long Lost Pappy", or whatever the hell they think we're going to be for them this year. Damn people, take care of yourselves!!!
