So you want me to feel sorry for the Indians? No freaking way.
Flame on.

This reminds me of the joke:
"All Indians are drunken stumble bums. At least the one I saw was."

Bill you might want to go read my post again the next sentence states that THIS country is the first in history.
And a territory is different from a state which makes it outside the US official border.

I enjoy beer but havent been drunk in years. There is a thing called responsible drinking.
I've been through Chicago many times. Don't remember being bugged once.
Why should I feel sorry for them when they don't have to work or pay taxes?
Also, all of there medicine is paid for by the US tax payers. Must be nice. Oh wait...I'm suppose to feel white guilt. NOT!

Russ the problem is Clux is right no interstate goes anywhere near the wind river indian reservation. I should have caught that since I used to live in Wyoming but glad someone did.
I do have to say even with my what many would call negative posts we have indian reservations in Iowa and I have been in that area a lot and you know actually I think there is fewer bars and drunks in Tama then most other smaller communities in the area including or especially the town i live in (4000 people 6 bars) and since Wyoming was brought up how about laramie, 36 drive up liquor stores in a town of 25000 people and at least when I lived there it wasn't an indian reservation.

Which reminds me of the time I lost all respect for both college students and football fans in Laramie, since they were just plain drunk at about 10:00 in the morning..........and now you just made me lose all respect for myself, since I was one of them..........I hate it when that happens.
