Since the Boldt decision has reared its head once again, I have a question for those of you who want it overturned or disagree on Boldt's decision. This question is for those who are also 2nd Amendment supporters. Or even 1st Amendment supporters. Do you think that the means and methods at hand when The Constitution was written or when the Treaties were signed should govern the way those documents are enforced today? In other words, if we want the Indians to go back to spears, dip nets, and cedar bark nets, shouldn't we go back to muskets? We may need to get rid of the Internet and TV as well since the First Amendment really spoke to state sponsored religion and the written word. I chuckle whenever I hear carping on the Boldt decision, but mostly I cringe - so much wasted energy when there is so much to be done.
