Sioux-cia

If you took the time to read the board who would note that there are several different threads related to the the Sioux name and to overlapping issues. This particular thread has to do with Means' withdrawal from the U. S. Based on my experince living on two different reservations, I have to agree that reservations are not helpful to Native Americans. There is wide spread entitlement amongst reservation Indians. "I'm an enrolled member of .... you have to give me.... you owe me because I'm Indian...." I have dozens of examples of reservation Indians wanting something without giving anything in return. When you give something to someone over and over again and expect nothing from that person, the value of what you give them is ZERO. We have seen this in career welfare recipients. At least some states are now limiting the amount of time someone can stay on welfare, long enough to get on their feet, and then they are required to get a J O B if they want to continue to get supplemental welfare assistance. What's done is done. The past is the past. It can't be changed. My opinion is to phase out reservations, phase out government programs, phase out tribal governments, etc. The land should remain in Indian hands but individuals should be allowed to own the land and what's on it. They should be responsible for it as well. Conditions on reservations is sad. There is no healthy reason to preserve reservations.

HOCKEY!!!!!!! NEED HOCKEY!!!!!!!!

I think it's a traditional fire that was first lit on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929 on Wall Street.

My daughter in law's PhD and fluency in five languages will allow her to teach at the college level for about the same compensation as a MacDonald's manager.

0 to fat chance in he!!...

I don't think folks with a heart condition should get drunk and stupid! But, hey, mike, you can be our designated driver.

This is more wide spread than people know. Not all MRSA infections are as devastating. About 90% or more of the wounds I had cultured in Arizona came back positive for MRSA. I'm glad the staff isn't infected! Or are they!?!

I'll be there with my daughter (actually she's my son's best-friend since HS)!! Look forward to a good SiouxSports.com membership turnout!! I'll be there the 29th. Can't make it to Park Rapids, darn ol' job!

Ed Belfour played one year. And what a good year that was!!!

I don't think anyone is reveling in the Goofs 'misery'! As stated before we want to beat the best! This isn't good for college hockey. IMHO, I don't think college athletes should be allowed to turn pro until the school year, not just their season, is over!

Neck brace? I thought that was his tie?!?

OMG!!! Don't even joke about that!!! You want to know what socialized medicine is going to get you, go to an Indian Health Service facility. The government tells me what I can and can't order (medicine), who can or can't be referred to specialty care, who can or can't get assistive devices, what testsetc. The abuse of the 'free' health care by many of it's recipients has been a contributing factor for all the rules, regulations, etc.

The comments are quite telling. http://www.bismarcktribune.com/articles/20...tate/144663.txt

At work, I spoke with a woman from a SD Sioux reservation. She was very upset. A friend of her's had someone come to her home the night before. The woman was asking for powdered eggs so she could feed her children. The friend gave the woman what she could. The woman in my office was angry, sad and crying. She said the tribal leaders had just voted themselves a $500. Christmas bonus, each. She said, "There are people who don't have food to eat and they give themselves a bonus. They don't deserve a bonus."

Labs fight???

Steamboats can't move in/on ice.

I thought this thread started because someone was looking to buy a jersey. Any other posts were 'incidental'. No matter, I'm not selling..... yet.

Nah, he gave it to me!

Poor guy was rubbing his forehead all night! JK,
