Makah's do it again!!!
billythekidrock:
--- Quote ---This article seems to make the Makah's kill a little trivial. I'm not condoning what they did and it trully sickens me that they continue hunting whales but there is a much bigger problem than these 5 guys. They hopefully will be punished for violating federal law. What's going to happen to the Japanese that kill 1000 whales for their finacial benefit? Probably nothing

Yes, I agree. One is nothing compared to that. But what pisses me off is the real reason for the Makah killing. It was more about pushing boundaries and sovereignty then eating or selling a whale.

Honestly, and I will burn for this. I could careless about the whales (not entirely true) as I read this and it was pretty darn upsetting, and I hope Japan gets stopped. Its the in our face, you can't touch me becaus eI'm an Indian attidtude that really pisses me off. I'm better than you and have the right to do whatever I want because I'm a soveriegn nation. Well then....why are my tax dollars funding YOUR *censored*. Build your roads, take care of your alcohol dependent childeren, etc. You want to live by soveriegn rules. Then you stay on your little Rez, and if you want to come off, get a passport. Your kids want to go to MY STATE COLLEGE, then pay out of state tuition. you are starving to death, then get your welfare from your timber money. You want to be an American like the rest of us, then disavow your soveriegn a$$ and become one of us. You are welcome to the same fruits and rights we are. You can't live by our constitution yet claim yours. Its not about heritage etc, or ways, or anything like that. ITS A GIMME PROGRAM JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER .........
WAcoyotehunter:
I agree completely! The tribes are decimating the elk herds and NO ONE will stand up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
There are too many people watching "Dances with wolves" and still feeling bad for the poor treatment of indians 100+ years ago. It's past time to wean them off the free $ and education and (most of all) the free wildlife!
Check Ebay for trophy antlers if you think I'm exaggerating.
Shadow Cat:
I said all of this some time ago but no one has what it takes TO stand up and do anything. I asked who would be willing to stand with me and it got quiet real fast so I have been working on this on my own. I don't know if anything will ever become of it, but at least when I gripe, I can do so knowing I tried to do something about it. It is like voting, you can't gripe about the way things are if you didn't vote.
