Some background, obviously biased but at least a start for those unfamiliar with the BIA: http://www.monitor.net/monitor/free/biatrustfund.html http://www.indiantrust.com/ So Native Americans have been on the receiving end of abuse in living memory, since some doubt was raised.

For HIM it's a "free market' -- but the health care market is far from free. In a true free market, a department head wouldn't be paid such an exorbitant sum. And the department head would find there was a shortage of doctors. This would result in him having to increase doctor's pay until the shortage was addressed - supply and demand. That's unless immigration rules were abolished. -- Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid. Oolite-Linux: an Elite tribute: http://oolite-linux.berlios.de |

Do you have any examples of this happening? You must not remember the 70s very well . . . Non-answer. I already mentioned a number of examples of this in my last post. No, you didn't. Vague generalities, without substantiation (factual data with records, not goofball opinions and speculations), is, again, a non-answer. |

Yes...something going on for 140 years and they still refuse to take responsibility for themselves (i.e., they want the perks and handouts, but not the true meaning of "sovereign". |

Most citizens of this country are totally blind to the reaming they get on the part of their government. If you had just said "...by their government." It would have been the first time I ever agreed with Juan. Damn. He's only about 100 year behind the curve. |

"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message ups.com... Last time I was in France the national langauge was not German, we accept that as a thank you. *pffffrt* but it is not english, either. And I'd bet they'd rather learn German than English ... Are you **SERIOUSLY** arguing that the U.S. should have left the Nazi's in France? Would we notice any difference? That we should have allowed the Nazi's to keep France and also hand them England? That's not the point he was making - you're jumping off. You are a sick, sick puppy. That he is. -Robert |

"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message ups.com... you're not seriously arguing that the US is solely responsible for kicking the Nazis out of France, are you? that's a shameless example of wearing blinders when reading history. I'm seriously saying it wouldn't have happend without us. Well, as of 1942, the Brits and the rest of the allies were doing sooooo good. |

I'm seriously saying it wouldn't have happend without us. No, it _might_ not have happened. We will never know, won't we. After all, the Vietnamese kicked the living crap out of the US and out of their country altogether a mere 30 years later, did they not? And there's no shortage of whoopass in Iraq for the soldiers the Shrub sent to their deaths there. It's not appropriate in any way, shape or form to make these arrogant statements. *** Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com *** |

How quickly we forget. And even bigger ones, some the size of entire towns, containing the remains of the French people who did the same thing. How quickly we forget, indeed, that there was a reason why they were called "The Allies" and not "The American Saviors". *** Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com *** |
