A parent would not allow their children to be taken advantage of and a good parent would make sure to give their children everything due them.... 39641@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:16:47 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2494.html#39639 I think that it is a simple answer for most people who are not indian to say no to compensation to tribes. I also see that thinking that compensation is not owed not well thought through and can be considered selfish. Tribes were promised so much and when the govenment did not honor these agreements and the tribes suffered, all of a sudden the tribes "lost the war against them". I have heard individuals say that indians should get over it. I say this. If someone came into the home you own and shoved you in the bathroom and said to you, " this is where you will live now and I am going to live in the rest of the house and you should be happy about it" Do you think that would be right? Or would you fight for what is rightfully yours??... 39639@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:52:49 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2494.html#39347 this should be passed for sure who ever denies it is racist. In my eyes. we got so much taken from us.... 39347@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:15:15 EDT
