You know, there are a lot of valuable perspectives on here. I am from MN and love North Dakota because I see people as more self reliant here. Obviously, I am not going to start the brushfire that I wanted to with my drunken post, but the passion lives on. I will never accept the Fighting Hawk thing. Ever.
Perhaps, the best way is to follow my own pathway of rejecting it, which is sitting and hanging the Sioux logo even at sports that I don't like. Freedom of speech can do a hell of thing for the future.
