     I thought that the artical did not need explaining also when I frist
     posted anything into this echo over two years I was told not to edit
     the artical put post it as written... this is what I was doing !
     If you want my opinion on Twain or the artical I will be glad to give
     it . I never knew Twain wrote such things about anyone ! I read Huck
     Finn and haven't ever read anyother books or stories written by him.
     Also I was never told in PUBLIC school about his attitude toward Indians
     "Native American" to be politically correct ! I found the artical inte-
     resting and thus posted it . I did not expect Ray to come down here from
     the local echo where I have posted some artical that are anti-jewish (in
     his opinion) which is my right to do as freedom of speach expressing my
     opinion that "todays jews" are not the same people written about in the
     Bible etc... note: that if I say the truth it now becomes racist and
     bigoted remark and the truth no longer matters anymore !!!
     Facts are also in regards to the Martin/Twain artical... I have strong
     emotional feelings about "Native American" who aren't really natives
     at all but exploit the movement by dressing up and holding fake pow wows
     and hiring commerical dancers so they can sell junk made in Tiwan etc.
     because I am a naturalist by nature . Culture is being lost by these
     actions and that can not be recovered the Old ones will not always
     be with us and the Young ones will grow up believing this crap they see
     on TV and at gatherings. You commonly see Cherokees wearing a feather
     headdress when you visit Cherokee,NC something to my knowledge that 
ever
     was except on TV and in the movies . That was what prompted me to post
     the artical here .
     I am not a agree with everyone kiss a** person I don't post artical to
     win friends nor do I want to be part of some social click . I am a
     come as I am Individual and I have been judged unduly in this echo upon
     religious convictions having nothiong to do with my Native beliefs .
     I feel I do not need to apologize because I have done nothing wrong ,
     however I have been accused or untrue things in the other echo and
     it has been carried down here. I have nothing more to say or defend.
