You wrecked me.

Sadly, that type has hi-jacked a good deal of the Democratic process in the USA.<BR/><BR/>Of the many plagues visited upon my people by Europeans; disease, addiction, loss of pride, and 'handouts' have had the most devastating effects on our present and our future prospects.<BR/><BR/>Being despised for what you are and not who you are destroys many dreams before they've begun to take shape. For every 'Old Indian' like me who's been fairly successful, there are at least 2 unsuccessful attempts at normalacy and one life ruined by addictions and disease.Mike Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117271444345617080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733690203980990187.post-49692704023740099712007-12-12T16:44:00.000-07:002007-12-12T16:44:00.000-07:00This is beautiful.
