Another Lakota Uprising...some people never learn..

By Tresckow

Holy shit! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,317548,00.html

I'm so divided, yet jazzed on this issue. I've studied the Apache, Cheyenne, and Lakota for years. We all know the treaties are shit. The US was just hoping that, over time, it would be forgotten and the various tribes would be assimilated.

As I see it, one of three things will happen

1. This is a political move for the Lakota. The days of the arrow flinging, galloping Indian warrior are over. Today, they gallop on the senate floor. This is a statement of great proportions and they know this will embarrass the government enough to speed up the Sitting Bull monument

2. Other tribes will follow. Shit, I can see the nations that gave the US the most problems: Apache, Cheyenne, Navajo, Crow... all doing something similar. Eventually either the US will come to the new treaty table or just ignore the whole thing

3. The US will revert back to its old Geronimo Campaign ways and send out the calvary.

Of all of the above, the third is the least likely. We've gone to war with other nations for doing less to their minority populations. Just call them Kurds and we have a global soap opera on our hands. The second possibility is more likely, but I garun-damn-tee that none of the tribes with legal rights to run casinos will join the movement. Out of all of them, the first possibility stands as the most plausible. They are pissed. Most of the treaties they've signed are null and void our of sheer outdatedness. The US government will capitulate and, in an order to save face, will pretty much meet any reasonable demands given to them. As I said, I'm divided. I'm a Unionist at heart, but I have a special place in my heart for the Indians of the plains and Southwest. All in all, this is still pretty awesome. It's a little bit of the 19th century in the 21st.

  1. do cigarettes expire
    Cigarette makers will soon have every other mandate to "gain" people who smoke. Further to the felony warning and other relevant details, programs must specify "first-class earlier than" or "expiration" details, alongside the lines of different safe to eat and consumable objects, together with medications.
