Oh but I understand, you are a forgiving kind gentle loving person who has found it better to forgive, but never let anyone put the past where it belongs. A person not wanting pity may relay their story once, but they do not keep repeating it embellishing it more and more. People that forgive, remembers the past but only to use as a guidelines or a useful tool so they can see their future. A bitter person, keeps the anger, the hate, the exact words that were said so alive it is like reliving it everyday. They know the smallest details because they hate and no one will take that hate and anger from them because that is all they have. And it shows. The selection of words, their need to argue a point until their opponent gives up. They crave pity, but they do not want anyone to say it out loud, they want an apology, but have no idea of how to accept one, they simply want revenge but do not know how to exact a justified action, so they complain how awful the white man is/was/and ever shall be, they go into graphic detail of the sins and wrongs that another committed, and then the put the cherry on top by saying "you don't understand." god forbid that someone bring up any bad decisions of your tribe, or race, because then that person has to be a racist. Never mind that you have just gone on and on of how awful white men are. That is not racist.

So, I say to you that I was wrong in trying to befriend or encourage you. You are a hostile person and your intent is not discussion but to vent your hatred. I will not be a party to feeding your anger. Good Luck!

You are one articulate individual, that gets it (reality). then elects to share it with those that do not get it. Sensai, teacher, factual poster. Damn, I like you man.

Mike, life is about choices. if you make good and honorable choices, Karma smiles on you and you will receive proper benefit of those choices. If you make bad choices, you will also receive a proper benefit: )
(Remember....Karma is a Bitch and always meters out a proper benefit for your choices. Karma does not accept excuses or rationalizations; Karma is capable of delivering getting your attention.

Your answers were in the last post. I don't have to explain any thing. you are very close. I put this post up to get others takes on what I saw. in writeing. So far 95% of all replys have been from people who identify with the right wing side of politics. This possibly could be a statisics thing if the right formula was used.I am an independant left leaning voter if you don't know already. I won't change that position and make no apologies for it I don't care how the other person votes. I do care that they are allowed to vote and that vote is counted. Sorry for going a little off subject.

You must have been there years ago My cousins husband Eugene Welch was the Carpentry instructer at Kingsley field.There is much hatred of Indians there and much has to do with Water. Dick Miller who owned the Caddilac dealership kept a couple bottles of whiskey in his desk. When the Klamaths cashed thier checks and came in to buy a car he put the bottle in front of them. When the bureau of reclamation cut off the irrigation water during a bad drought Whites blamed Indians for it and truck loads of holligans drove up to Chiloquin and shot at people their homes and pets yelling "Sucker Lovers" "Gut eaters". You may have been there but I lived there.
