I think we are getting off track here but as I was typing my response I was
thinking exactly the same as you. Not all "Native American People" had the
same mindset. Some were very agressive and dominating while others were
more freindly and relaxed.
I find it more than amusing that you decided to attack my character (or me
personally) rather than maturely discussing the topic. This seems the type
of situation where some folks seem to want to start name calling and
pointing fingers.
Sorry Vard, you'll have to find somebody else to attack and spend your time
with or maybe your were just feeling a bit hostile during your posting.
Have a nice day :-).
