Tell us more about this "land reform" in Central America. Does that
mean that you were trying to take land away from whom it legally
belonged and give it to someone else? That sounds like some kind of
Robin Hood adventure to me although it's hard to imagine your fat ass
in green tights and carrying a bow and arrow. Sounds like you were
ahead of your time and should have waited for Hugo Chavez in
Venezuela. His little adventure in socialism and seizing the assets
of others isn't turning out very well though.


Legally belonged? That's funny. In much of Central America, land was
stolen from the indigent people by the oligarchy, aided by the military
and sometimes aided by the good old USA, not unlike it was done in this
country, eh?

Tell me all about it, white eyes...


So, you have no compassion for these abused indigent people? Sad.

Whoosh... :-)

yeah. woosh...


I had no idea you were a Native American, Tim. Are you the last of the
Mohicans?

Well, in the early 17th Century, John Smith wrote that the few “native
Americans” he encountered were Pawtuxunt, Mattapenient and
Acquintanacksnak, but there have been very few excavations that have
yielded definitive results. Apparently some of the earlier tribes
considered ancestral bones sacred and moved them when they moved. The
sites near where we live might be underwater, because the sea levels in
the Bay and other shorelines have risen dramatically in the last few
thousand years.

There doesn’t seem to be much evidence of displacement by “white eyes”
of native peoples right around here.

I agree with Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in Government... The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed"
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)


Tim, that's a wonderful historical statement, true for it's time. It's
more of a tradition now though. I don't care how many guns are
privately owned, there's no way they could be used to fend off the US
military if our government somehow decided to become "tyrannical".
Heck, they can't agree on how many sugars to put in a coffee.

In most reasonably populated counties, the gun guys couldn't fend off
the sheriff's department.

Even in my "heavily gun controlled state," the Staties aren't interested
with my plan to build a semi-auto rifle in a caliber heavier than .223/5.56.

It is fairly safe to assume anyone with fairly deep midwestern roots
has some Cherokee blood. Other tribes will laugh at white guys who
talk about it tho.
It was hard to find a pure blooded Cherokee 100 years ago according to
the "indian affairs" people who analysed my father's family during the
depression. Most people's computations are flawed about how "Cherokee"
they really are. They had been mixing it up long before they left the
Carolinas.


Yeah, my wife definitely has Cherokee ancestors from and a few relatives
still living in northwestern North Carolina. The ancestors married into
her English, Irish, German lines.

Considering the number of conservative southerners and westerners who
are actually the ones to join the military, why would you think they
would fight the citizens if the government became tyrannical?
You would be more likely to have a military coup.

I agree a few thousand guys in a compound somewhere will not stand
much of a chance but a million well armed guys could cause some
serious problems. Particularity if the military was less than
enthusiastic in quelling them.

Our military is yet to win a single "asymmetric" war even when they
were motivated to do it..

Because it worked out so well for the South the last time southerners took
on the Union army.
