This, I’m informed, is something of meaning to Native Peoples.

Really? How were you informed? On Oprah? The View? People magazine?

Do you think the Black Hills are of no meaning to any other Americans, for instance all the South Dakotans who live in or near the Black Hills?

People like you and Mr. Depp are always telling Americans (who happen to live somewhere you don't) to give land "back" to the Indians, or to give them some more money, or just to do something nice so we can all feel better.

My question--and my hometown happens to be on an Indian Reservation--is why don't those who feel so bad and guilty just leave the country?

If you think there is an eternal unpaid debt to American Indians, leaving this land is really the only honest step you can take.

Gosh, what’s festering inside you? For your information it’s been all over the place, in the news, on DVD, in print media and so forth.

Look buster, get off my back. As for anyone else enjoying the Black Hills I’m sure they do. All I said was that getting the Black Hills back seemed to be the better of the two “Moral Things” Johnny Depp could do if he were of a mind.

You need to take a pill....

One more thing, I don’t care where you live or how you make your living. It means nothing to me. What I do care about is history. Read it. Native Americans first fought and pushed out other Native Americans for the land for survival and religious reasons. Then the Europeans did the same thing. All I was pointing out through historical fact is that some tribes believe that the Black Hills are sacred and if Depp truly wishes to make his contribution this was the fight he should have taken. And guess what, I’m allowed that opinion. And if that makes me a lib in your eyes well color me RED!

You know what, it’s impossible to carry on intelligent conversations or even have polite disagreements with people like you who fly off the handle and enjoy it. So please, go away and leave me alone and take those chips on your shoulder with you!
