Social scientists have shown through extensive studies and experimentation that anger and frustration are the by-products of showing favoritism to one group at the expense of another. Children and adults alike have responded so similarly in these blatantly unfair situations, that you could only conclude the responses were "human nature." When Indians were getting reamed, they didn't care much for it. Their anger, frustration, and rage were understandable. Today, the tables are reversed, and at every turn it appears the tribes are our government's "favored ones". Do I feel sorry for what happened to tribes and individual Indians in past centuries? Yes!!! Do I feel guilty? No!!! Either, I haven't hung out with the "missionaries" long enough to develop a guilt complex, or I realize that the "abused ones" and the "abusers" have been dead for many decades. Punishing non-tribal citizens today for the transgressions of yesteryear makes about as much sense as having a teacher keep this year's class in at recess because some students misbehaved years ago. If you don't think you are being punished, try netting a steelhead run and selling the fish, set up a roadside stand and sell some "explosives", don't pay income tax, try to build a non-tribal casino in Washington, jacklight some deer or elk for your next reception...the list is far too long for this forum. Hopefully, you'll be able to access Bob's bulletin board from prison. Next time you're checked on the river for licenses, punchcards, barbless hooks, bait, scent;size, species, and #'s of fish,plus a valid parking decal, try telling the fishcop you're tired of being culturally and racially profiled.
