Whats with this do or say something to make them want to do it crap??? Does the Gov't do that for ordinary joe? Maybe if they would go about it differently, or say it "just right", then I would gladly give up 40% of my paycheck, or maybe then I would not mind giving so much to the SS fund that I will not ever see, or happily pay that $10.00 launch fee at Mukilteo............
Since when does anyone try to dance around anything with us ordinary folks who have no ethnic excuse to be pampered and "talked into" doing what is right????
Wish I could get some of that kind of respect....

I personally would settle just for being able to use the launches free, as the tribes do.......
As far as your PC term "Native American" Eddie, I am as native american as they come. That means I was born here and not in another country. Lest we forget that even the Indians migrated here at one time, challenged and fought whomever was in the way for the resources, and battled constantly for the best area's to live and hunt.

Hmmmmmm..... I wonder why the tribes are so against "Kennewick Man" study, especially after the discovery that he had anglo bone structure and was over 9000 years old? Maybe the migrants from asia were not the first or only ones here at that time...... He also had an arrow head buried in his hip..... Maybe he lost the land that he had made claim on??

Just a thought....
