Hi Dave, *Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?* KHA previously said:

What blasphemy. The only > intellectual quality is subject and object logic. KHA: Yeah, Dave, it is blasphemous all right. Dave: > You can be excused I guess having an Asian name you probably haven't had > your intellect transplant yet. > Understand that can be quite dangerous something about Asian jeans not > being sufficiently evolved to hold one ;-) > > KHA: No need, Dave, to make excuses for me and my Asian name. *I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. * ** But, Dave I think Ten Bears said it best, and I am going to let say him say it one more time: *"There are things which you have said to me which I do not like. * *They were not sweet like sugar, but bitter like gourds. * *You said that you wanted to put us upon a reservation, * *To build us houses and to make us Medicine Lodges. * *I do not want them. * ** *I was born on the praire, where the wind blew free, * *And there was nothing to break the light of the sun. * *I was born where there were no enclosures, * *And where everything drew a free breath,. * ** *I want to die there, and not within walls, * *I know every stream and every wood * *between the Rio Grande and the Arkansas. * *I have hunted and lived over in that country. * *I lived like my fathers before me, * *and like them I lived happily. * ** *When I was at Washington, * *the Great Father told me * *that all the Comanche land was ours, * *And that no one should hinder us in living upon it, * ** *So why do you ask us to leave the rivers, * *and the sun, and the wind, and live in houses ? * *Do not ask us to give up the buffalo for the sheep. * *The young men have heard of this, * *And it has made them sad and angry. * ** *Do not speak of it anymore. * ** *I love to carry out the talk I get from the Great Father. * *When I get goods and presents, I and my people feel glad, * *since it shows that he holds us in his eye. * *If the Texans had kept out of my country, * *there might have been peace. * ** *But that which you now say we must live on is too small. * ** *The Texans have taken away the places * *where the grass grew the thickest * *and where the timber was the best. * ** *Had we kept that, * *we might have done this thing you ask, * * * *But it is too late.* ** *The white man has the country which we loved* *and we only wish to wander on the prairie until we die.* ** *Any good thing you say to me shall not be forgotten, * *I shall carry it as near to my heart as my children, * *And it shall be as often on my tongue * *as the name of the Great Spirit. * ** *I want no blood upon my land to stain the grass. * *I want it all clear and pure, * *and I wish it so, * *that all who go through among my people * *may find peace when they come in * *and leave it when they go out. "* Best Regards, Dave.
