She looks Cherokee somewhat. Who knows? But, after all aren't we all related?<BR/><BR/>This story has an element that sort of reminds me of the first ozone alert day for Dallas/Ft. Worth. There I was communting in the sweltering heat of Dallas. The brown shroud of toxic haze that surrounds the city often these days was particularly gnarly that day in 1997 I believe. I had just witnessed a lightning bolt leap out of the hazy smog. A voice on my car radio began to tell me that today was the first ever "ozone alert day" for the metroplex. His next sentence was, "But don't worry, there is nothing to be alarmed about." This second statement left me considerably vexed- wondering if there was nothing to be alarmed about why we were having an ALERT. I watched another lightning bolt leap out of the layer of smog wafting above and just muttered someting foul under my breath and popped in my Filter CD so I could listen to "Hey Man Nice Shot" at full volume.<BR/><BR/>And finally...Sooner or later the majority of people in this country will wake up to the realization that treaty honoring and/or keeping for this particular nation- state is not even a value. Yes, I said it. The examples are too tedious and voluminous for me to presently take the trouble to list and comment on here. These examples are not restricted to the case of "American Indians" who have the worthless paper on somewhere around 500 treaties that have been ignored or broken by the U.S. The examples are right out of current global trends and affairs, headline stories and foreign policy. This nation only keeps and honors treaties inasmuch as it is convenient and expedient. Perhaps it is the same with all nation states... or most... or its just an aspect of human nature.<BR/>Keeping covenants is not an actual value or conviction of our government machine at all.<BR/><BR/>p.s. I don't believe this was an accident except for the getting caught part.Scott Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830800584331515286noreply@blogger.com
