SLM, see the discussion Gh and I were having.

5/5/90, seems like a fair percentile break down, but open to discussion.

5% ignorance, 5% stupidity, 90% bigotry.

Honestly I'd say that ignorance and bigotry go hand in hand, in essence they are one in the same. Bigotry follows ignorance, I often think people, in ignorance, say things that they really and truly don't recognize as bigoted. And I say this because I really don't think that, deep down, most people are as bigoted as they come across. I really do think it's a matter of education and information. But that becomes the crux of the problem. Ignorance and bigotry can be 'righted' with education and information but with this particular issue there are so many conflicting interests, and to be honest not a real cohesive solidarity that I can see on the FN side of things (for the most part) that 'truth' or education ends up as just one more voice in the din.

That's just my impression, what I 'see' when I look at the big picture.

I think Spence has the good of her people at heart but I don't think she's mentally up to the position she holds. I would even hazard a guess that a month ago she may not have pulled the B.S. she's pulling now. To try to save face she won't back off. As far as Libs and N.D.P. goes it's all politicking...............oppose Harper at all costs no matter how stupid you look. -:)
You can't be serious. If she did have the good of her people at heart, she would be spending the money given to her tribe on 'her people' not on herself, her boyfriend and on stupidity.

Off switches can be reversed, pretty tough with shooting! Cliffy knew what he was doing!-:)
Killed time once too. Shot the alarm clock with a 12 gauge. It was very interesting. Time stood still while I watched every piece of that sucker float through the air in slow motion. Very gratifying.

Have you ever seen a TV implode? Believe me, it was worth the show.. actually the best show I ever saw on a TV.

Imploding is a fairly recent phenomenum, when I was a kid it was all explosions, very few implosions or maybe it was because the place I grew up wasn't sophisticated enough to have implosions! -:)

It only looked like an explosion. TV used to have vacuum tubes that imploded when shot.
