        Maybe a glimpse into the "Montana mindset", after all he is an
elected official, not just the "guy on the street".

        Is it any wonder that those who are trying to stop the slaughter of
the Bison get no support?

        Some quotes from the Senator from Montana...Conrad Burns:

        <http://www.billingsgazette.com/>

        "Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., has apologized for using a  pejorative
description during a speech in Billings last month, referring to Arabs as
"rag heads" while commenting on oil prices and the United States'
dependency on foreign supplies."

"During his re-election bid in 1994, Burns spawned a  controversy by
repeating a story that included the word "niggers" and commenting that
living with blacks in Washington, D.C. was "a hell of a challenge." He
later said he regretted the comment."
