ED,
i'm very "blue" at this time. profoundly disappointed in the nation, and the ideals of the nation, as they were taught to me by the pink teachers in white shirts in white* government in white civics courses by upright and certain white young men and old white women driving white cars and living in white houses. indians of all colors were taught that there was something worthwhile outside and that we should want it. now, it seems that salaried government workers (with full medical plan and retirements) cynically and endlessly complain about the value of government! while private sector envies and demeans government security and salaries and plots to steal the ideal from their own employees in the name of productivity. economists concur and enable. private sector promises plentiful jobs (in return for lower taxes) but at the first hint of stress sheds workers like like snot in the owner's nose on the first sneeze. oh dear! did i catch the "predator" bug from the swiss or is it a virus endemic to this chat** room that when one is dumped, attaches itself epigonically to another? are we all in danger, even the english? REH (2010) *"white" their word not mine. Anything considered desirable or good was called "white" at that time and taught to impressionable young Indians. **"Chat" is the term on the reserve for piles of slag waste products from lead and zinc mines. The largest pile was four hundred feet high and covered 80 acres. Although crushed gravel it is worthless because of the lead and chemicals found on the surface of the rock from smelting. When it rains it bleeds lead and heavy metals into the water. If you've never seen them Google Earth " Picher, Oklahoma" and look at the piles of the stuff. The American government declared it a disaster, bought the white people out and walked away leaving it for the Quapaw (Indians) to clean up and be liable when it pollutes the streams upriver from Tulsa and the Oklahoma lakes. Just like Haiti and the French. Is it a virus or an epigone? It's terrible when you have to explain the joke. Makes me feel like a painter. :?))
