nice post ozone man...

i even pretty much agree with the issue you have with gambling, even though some here have tried to twist what i was saying and contort it into somehow me having a problem with dean because he's against gambling because apparently they couldn't stick to the real issue i made of it, which had to do with recognition, and sovereignty issues stemming from that....


but i would rather not see much gambling. it's sad that tribes have had to turn to this to survive....

but what i am for is tribes being able to make their own decisions on these matters, instead of being told what they can and cannot do on their own lands. if they so choose to build a casino, what business is it of mine? i only wish others could understand the concept...

it's disturbing though in a way, some of the sentiments i've seen expressed here and the "logic" behind them.... it's really freeperesque. for instance, to draw an analogy, i'm pro-choice, but aren't necessarily for abortion personally.... it's just that i choose to extend that right to others because i believe they ought to have that.... but how many freepers have we all run into who couldn't seem to distinguish those two things? we've all had those arguments, and they go nowhere.... they just can't understand how you could be pro-choice, and against abortion personally at the same time!

much like some in here seem to have problems with the concept of pro-tribal sovereignty and self-determination, without really advocating things such as gaming, for instance, personally.... but rather a tribe's right to choose for themselves.... much like a woman's, to draw the analogy to a close.
