Excuse me Mr. self righteous...  ahh... go to edgewater during the
native American
meetings/festival... what is a worse stereotype, a more threatening
image?  The shaman
Indian idea... that every Indian has special powers and is a spiritual
healer/serer...
This image is portrayed in movies, TV (x-files) etc... this seems to be
a much
more damaging stereotype, and the origins of the name was a tribute.

As for segregation... where do you get your wacky facts from?  2 cities
making up the
greater Cleveland area are in the top 30 unsegregated neighborhoods to
move into in the nation.
But oh yeah... I forget our river burns...  yeah... that's it...
