It seems to me that you don't keep up with the news OR only that "news" that agrees with you. Are you not aware that the pipeline was supposed to be closer to a city primarily inhabited by whites. They didn't want it near them so therefore, it's alright to move it onto land that was "agreed with our government" to be part of the Native reservation.

I guess you have not read of the history of this great nation throughout which the original people were subjected to genocide This is just another instance where the Natives were either moved to or "awarded" some land only to have it removed it from them when it was discovered that that particular land had valuable minerals on it that Whities like you desired to make some money from (Black Hills - just in case you haven't heard of Black Hills gold). I'm ashamed that our pure WHITE government has not, at any time honored its agreements with Native tribes.

Go to the library and look up all the treaties broken with these people throughout our history. My goodness - former Europeans settling this land kept moving the Natives onto lands that were, at that time, not even sustainable for life. Please note that these same New People were immigrants.

You and those like you have become a NEW creature - one with big mouths and no balls.

By the way - I believe you intended to use the word conversations rather than conservations. Was that a Freudian slip?

Where are YOU? What a frigging hypocrite you are...of course nothing new about THAT!

If they offered some free new false teeth for your old crusty worn out self, hell you would hop on your wheel chair and be heading there in a heart beat!

Now for the real story with you...you are another ticked off Obama Care person, as you had been counting on having some of that sagging skin of yours to be lazer treated and or cut off, but now, with Trump coming into office, and changes taking place, you are afraid of losing your free benefits! Poor old you! Wah Wah Wahhhh. Get a binky "choppers", your old Hag Killary lost. Get used to it. Buy some grease....and some Geritol.

Alicia, I've read so many of your posts stating how much you love the environment...where are YOU now with your shovels and trash bags now that the original Americans need YOUR help (from people like you "helping" them)?

"What was once a bustling makeshift city is now a largely abandoned garbage pit. Teepees and yurts, thousands of sheets of plywood and tents, kerosene and propane stoves, diesel and gasoline generators, food, clothing, cars and mountains of human waste lie in what was once a pristine floodplain that abutted the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.

Nothing but bison and horses roamed here. Unless the debris is moved, state officials say it will wash into and contaminate the Missouri River.

Already 250 loads of trash have been removed, but much more remains. And police say they need to get everyone out to finish the job."
