Lindsey & Two Waters,

I am sending all three of you a major Internet raspberry for perpetuating
the "savage Indian" stereotype.

<<<<only hippies, new agers, lost souls, and the guilt filled>>> NOT!

<<< if they wanted to keep their scalps>>>>NOT!

And what would you do if you caught them on the "Rez" Two Rivers? Overflow
your banks?

Come on!

My son can tell you how "savage" it is out there...positively vicious!
Everytime he's out in "the back 40" some OLD PERSON he meets drags him
home and makes him EAT!

Elizabeth

Lindsey,

I wonder why your biker friends were on the "Rez" in the first place.
Usually, only hippies, new agers, lost souls, and the guilt filled, are
found on the back roads. Maybe they were on a vision quest or just looking
for the drive-in sweat lodge. I bet they even forgot they were no longer in
the United States. Lucky I didn't find them. Bet they were from Texas
too!!!
