Well, carp, I hate to contradict, but to the above remark please add the one in the other mail where he talks about Sitting Bull trying to avoid arrest and rather slaughtering some soldiers - sorry, but a box of rocks would be accepted into Mensa Club compared to this dumbshit. Native ancestors, my arse! I don't really dare to inquire further - he most certainly will present us with a "Cherokee princess" as his great-great-great-grandmother: a safe six generations in the past and only dug up to nourish the line of "some of my best friends are...". Actually that bit about the Sioux getting eliminated may be a Freudian slip admitting the number of Natives killed was a little higher than your usual Glorious Westerner would like to confess: there's about 100,000 of them now, so if this is "elimination", this tells us something about the original number of people... catkawin
