All I have to say is that we owe the American Indians so much. We did steal their land, and we also murdered their women and children, even forced the women who werent killed to have hysterectomies (sp?) and gave them blankets infected with small pocks to keep them warm as they died along the Trail of Tears.

We can all bring up the trail of tears and the inconceivable scum officers for the army at the time who did the dirty deeds with the blankets, and we can act as a nation to correct our wrongs. However, this does not mean that the other INVENTED indian nations or the other tribes concocting so-called rights to supposed lands "stolen" from them, all somehow have now the right to demand back land won or lost by right of conquest, purchase, or treaty.

Who was here before the Indians? Does it then not belong to them? There WERE peoples here before them. What about all of their so-called "legitimate" claims???

Foxwoods casino in Connecticut is on supposed soverign indian land. When did they come about? What was their claim built on? Mostly lies but who cares, after all, Connecticut as a whole did not want gambling, but some of their self-absorbed-busy-body-get-it-any-way-you-can politicians supported gambling so their way around it was supporting this "Tribe" of Indians of which we have decendants who are far removed from the tribe even by blood. Add a couple of lawyers greedy for their turn with the dice, go to DC and voila......CA$INO.

I have never been against demanding our nation act righteously in ALL matters, even when it does not give us what we sometimes want, but I detest the invented sins and the Pay-Us-Now schemes drempt up and acted upon by those who wrap themselves up as victims. They have a battle with me.

I am only 1 full generation removed from being an immigrant, yet I am afforded the status of the lowest of the low here in the US, my home and my country, that of white male. The scourge of the land, cause of all evil, sexist pig bastard who single handedly caused slavery, eco-terrorist who would gladly force all children to drink arsnic laced water, lunch stealer from the public school, drug theif from all senior citizen, and all around generilized, walking human plague. In the eyes of many I caused all of it and MUST suffer for it. Whether by forefit of land, teft of my property or confiscation of my wealth by way of taxation, I must pay........right.
Over my dead body.

I will listen to legitimate claims backed up with real proof, but I am tired of the invented claims, status's from people who are and have been suspect from day-one.
