As for the military, it's true.  The US military shouldn't have to be on 
our soil.  Unfortunately, I trust the national guard about as far as I can 
kick them.  Frankly, I was happier with the marines in LA then if the 
guard would've been there.  I think they've had more and better training, 
and hence, were less likely to get nervous undr pressure than the weekend 
warriors and kill someone by accident.

As for the indians. Great!  Now you're talking.  Give me something to do 
to help someone out, besides rolling over dead for them, and I'll do what 
I can.  I think our generation has a different approach to 'helping out', 
though.  I prefer to help people on a personal level, but I get defensive 
and aggitated when the federal government tells me to do it.  Whereas I'm 
personally fully in favor of dissolving the social security system, I've 
never refused anyone who's asked for a little money.  Hell, for that 
matter, I don't like the government telling me to do anything.  I think 
it's reactionary, the state government here still regulates how we can 
have sex.  Damn, I think I'm straying from the topic.  Oh well, I was in a 
discussion about this last night with a friend and haven't been able to 
get it off my mind.
