Say what you want about the U.S.A...

That's the biggest difference in the relations between America and those she has cheated out of contracts, and Israel and those she has.

We don't need to support mass murder anymore to keep our minorities in line. Just the occasional police-inflicted beating. (No, it's not that simple, but be careful who you compare to Israel - we've got a few skeletons in our closets as well, as Bill will tell ya...)

Storing toxic stuff near their homes because they cant legally complain. The highest percentage of population behind bars (in some area's) despite being less than 2% of the population. All human trials of medicine in the US is carried out on Indians before release to the humans. Maybe they dont shoot them down in the streets but is damn close. thanx, bill why did god give us a talleywhacker and a trigger finger if he didnt want us to use them? Randy Wayne White

Do you have any evidence for this happening recently? Anyhow, it often seems that when one looks closely at the contracts, the slick lawyers out-lawyer the poorer lawyers using creative interpretation and fine print. It is not outright contract breach. ________________ oop.ismad.com

All other vaccines are also tested on Indians first. thanx, bill why did god give us a talleywhacker and a trigger finger if he didnt want us to use them? Randy Wayne White

If you dont agree you are hounded by social workers. At least they tell us now 20 yrs ago they just gave them to you.
