Ive been keeping track of the water,farmer,indian problem up by Klamath Falls Oregon. The farmers were promised land and water forever from the U.S. Gov. and now the Gov. is reneging on the promise. I feel for the farmers but can't help thinking : now white men can see what it feels like when a government flat out lies to you.
There are a certain amount of people (quite a lot actually)that feel the same as Onedoug, believe me I am Indian and see it all the time. Unless they are of Indian blood and been personally screwed, they have no heart for it. Let them get the shaft and then listen to the squealing.
I used to be non-empathetic towards Indians, until I saw the evironmentalists, government and certain other interests go after the people I love and care about in a similar fashion as they did the Indians.
The Indians are now my brothers and sisters. Read a book called Brother Against Brother by Diana Whitehorse Capp.
Let me tell you something onedoug, the day you wind up on the wrong end of a "legal" land grab is the day you'll be an instant convert.
