I thought this thread started because they only now just were granted a reservation?!

I am not unconcerned with my tax dollars being used unwisely, btw. It's just that I don't pick a couple of Indian kids being bused to school as a seminal issue to take up. !Warning!, non sequitur coming.....For Christ sake, we could bus every damn Indian kid anywhere they want to go for the price of one obsolete fighter jet!

Krijack,

No one (at least not me) said anything about anyone being a biggot. I think some folks just read a lot of these threads that have to do with tribes and see that everyone makes a Federal case (no pun intended) about every "special" right that they think the tribes have and feel the reaction is a bit, well, over-reactive.
