It's kind of the Rape of the American Indians All Over Again

only this time the suckers are "us."

Just pay us $100 and you can have our natural lands to destroy.

Pretty sickening to think that we will fall for it all over again.

They are taking everything that we have and we are just sitting here on our thumbs.

So what does that make us? I must be getting really depressed about this. I think that $100 thing just sent me over the edge.

1. What? 100 dollars?

I demand glass beads and cheap steel hatchets!

Give me something that has some value!

2. I'm feeling it also , today. Helpless, and darned close to hopeless

I need to step away from the noise for a day or so..Feeling a great bit "spent"..I feel like my great America is fading into the past..
Think I'll take the day off.
Peace to you..

3. That will buy about one tank of gas

for some gas guzzlers. Frankly, it disgusts me that they would offer this instead of using the funds for alternative energy, going after the corporations for obscene profits, etc.

4. I can almost get two tanks of gas for that.

That is pretty pitiful, don't you think. And you know how much that would cost the govt - to give out $100 to 250 million people?

Oh, yea, it's only money. I forgot.

Pretty damn depressing.
