(Pravda)
| So you know it has to be true... |
The statement of saying that we have/Indians have so much to thank the white man for, I think is possibly a tunnel vision approach and doesn't grasp the full spectrum of the lessons to be learned from each other.ÂÂ
| Who said that? Are you speaking as a member of a group? Which white men are you referring to? Big and Little Harp? Abraham Lincoln? Horace Greeley? Al Capone? Lief Ericsson? Julio Caesar? Sargon II? Sounds like a pretty general generalization to me... |
 I have personally studied with the Indians in a very informal manner.ÂÂ
| That means you hung out with them, huh? Which Indians? Apaches? Seminoles? Hurons? Sioux? Who, specifically, within those particular tribes? |
| She has Redskins season tickets and is ecstatic about the return of Joe Gibbs. |
I would have liked to have devoted more time and energy to this process, but I am not a success story and I am white.ÂÂ
| Hadda go back to your job bussing tables, huh? And the reason they didn't like you wasn't because you're white... |
What is absolutely wonderful and healing about what I learned from the Indian ways, of which I need to clarify that different tribes have different views with strengths and weakness to the very similiar extent that the different nationalities around the globe present, is that they have a deep respect and admiration for the mother earth. Everyday was a prayer.ÂÂ
| Another gross generalization. Some Injuns have an ostentatious respect and admiration for Mama Gaia. Others work for a living, get drunk now and then, play cards, go bowling, look at pretty girls, and in general live their lives in a productive manner. |
| Well, we're still having issues at quarterback. Brunell, Ramsay, and Hasselbeck are all looking less than sharp right now. |
They pray in sweat lodges for their people and the earth. They use natural drugs to induce a deeper state of prayer for healing and giving.ÂÂ
| Like, wow, man! Natural drugs! Like peyote and stuff, huh? Like, try not to break a chromosome... |
| They're professional athletes. 'Nuff said. |
