They've confirmed it for the record.

Society requires that. We need everything spelled out. Otherwise we whinge and moan that it wasn't mentioned before. Man is a manipulating creature.

Who doesn't want more money? We ALL want more money. Less taxes, more services. Why would you think any other shade of skin would want less?

The relationship is not broken, it's always been rotten, it still is. I want more money. You're a bit of an oddball if you don't want more money Jaun.

I don't want more money. I have more than I need. What I want is more time to enjoy it.

I once heard someone say that if you want more time, you have to stay in the moment. Otherwise you are just runnning through time.

How do you know how much you'll need? You should spend some time going over your plan. You may have less than you think.

I tried that, took the whole summer moment by moment, the firewood isn't done, I'll get to spend the winter moment by cold moment waiting for the sun to return.

Right now I could use an extra 2 hours to squeeze in a round of golf.

I'm not talking about time added onto the end of my life. I'm talking about extra time today.

In many cases its not about money its about respect. The way many of the natives view
the world is far different than the European model. If we listened decades ago we might
not have the problems with our environment we have today, yes we have problems the
world is not ending cause we have problems but if we could avoid many of those over
all problems things would be better.
A century ago we put people on reserves so we could take the best land and develop it
for societies gain. Now we find out the scrub land was really the best land as it has the
natural gas, the oil, and other minerals including diamonds. Now society is working on
schemes to get their hands of the minerals the native own. In fact they want to have the
native own their own parcels on the reserve so they can buy the land as well.
I suppose their is a lesson when they set out to screw the Natives they ended up screwing
themselves. Some would say its divine justice
It is not so much the system is broken its just the Natives have really good lawyers and the
communities are standing up for their rights. Damn its annoying when people have rights
they they actually make the effort to exercise their right to whatever. Personally I don't know
if the system is broken or the Natives know how to manage the agenda better than ever
before

"We' don't have one so how can 'they' claim it's broken? At the same time the last big issue I heard about took 20 years and $100M to get it through the Canadian Courts When it is a Treaty Issue the Canadian Supreme Court belongs at the Defendants table at an impartial Court with 'impartial Judges' The First Nations would get a fairer trial by having judges from Central and South American that they would from the Arab Nations that are part of the active bombing of the International Reservation called Syria. (who also has some issues that need a different court that the US, the UK or France would provide. That means the security members right to veto something they are involved in would be null and void as they are the enforcers of the rulings and doing both tasks is abuse of power. Having your people sent into the killing zone will usually have you looking for a solution to the issue before it reaches that level. The attempt to resirict Russia's authority to veto when it comes to the Ukraine is being promoted at the UN right now. That would leave the door open for the US to lose the ability to veto issues brought up about Israel.
