r -=> Quoting William Elliot to Clarence Hogan <=-
 >>> Clarence Hogan on Some Reservations 
 
 CH> Yup, do seem to recall that it was!  No doubt about that and was 
 CH> probably even traded to them for something of value of theirs just
 CH> to get rid of the blankets!  Sheeeeesh, what a lovely way to do 
 CH> business!  :'(
 
 WE> Not so sure.  It could have been a gift or supplies given to indians
 WE> as agreed upon by treaty. 
 Well, yes it is recalled that blankets were a part of the bargain,
 as the indians didn't have enough of them for the winter months!
 But the reason above still stands in my mind!
 WE> Does indian woman talk straight? 
 
 CH> You have got that right!  You can bet your life that indian women
 CH> talk straight, for I had the joy, pleasure and blessing to be 
 CH> married to a Cherokee who sadly died of cancer!  :'(  And any 
 CH> indian who lies is no longer a member of that tribe either one 
 CH> way or another!
 
 WE> Didn't have to look very far.  So politicians aren't a tribe.  In that
 WE> case, they must be a gang. 
 
 Nope!  Nope, gang members stick closer and are truer to each other
 than politicians ever thought of being!
 CH> Ya' can't win em' all!
 
 WE> Yea and if ya did, you  get stomped by a bunch of angry men.
 
 CH> Sore losers!  :'(
 
 WE> You'd even be a sorer winner.
 
 Maybe, but you ain't seen the other guys yet, since they don't 
 call me Kung Fu and the Texas Ranger, all rolled up in one, for nothing!
 CH> I never judge others except by their shoes, and if their shoes
 CH> fit, then they must be the one who lost em'!  :)
 
 WE> No, it's 'if the shoe fits, wear it.'
 
 Nope, the prince didn't care if Cinderella wore it, all he wanted
 to know was if it fit so he would know that he had the right girl!
 Just another humble servant of The Kingdom.......clarence.......
... I may have my faults, but being wrong isn't one of them!
