Well Mr Candidate, lack of education and stupidity, the word YOU choose for good people you know NOTHING about, is apples and oranges. Do me a favor....speak with a little dignity. Learn respect for these people. We have far too many politicians who look down their noses at groups of Americans.
What does that 'hang around the fort' nonsence apply to" The Ute? Tell me something,....WHAT do you personally know about the WHite Mesa Ute that I haven't told you? My guess would b 'squat'. It amazes me when people decide what is best for others based on something they read or learned in a theory....like 'all blacks are lazy' or 'all SIcilians are criminals'. That is a pretty good example of ignorance. Before you cry over the word, check the definition. Oh...not having experience and being an ass....apples and oranges.
