Thanks C'da. His snooty remarks shouldn't keep us from improving our own state.
It ain't his money and it ain't my money to eat up either - it's the state's
money and need to be utilized for the state.
Going back to the original topic - then it would be practical to say: Joi Ai
Oxom, won't it.
Being an indigenous citizen does not give one the right (or the heart) to be
destructive towards one's own state/land.

money? My brain just can't comprehend intellectual talks. what is it?>> But I

not spinning this time. could be a paranoid misinterpretation :), but I don't
see a spin here.
