{SE} Another wonderful example of Deilly's brilliant dialogue.  I am sure he
refers to a redneck Albertan there, but his dialogue and choice of words is
generally poor (clean it up David -- mostly you rant and say nothing
intelligent in response when Mr. Trammel yanks your chain by spouting
nonsense -- apart from the "did so, did not" stuff that even my little kids
are past.  Try being substantive.  That will really make Mr. Trammel look as
stupid as he is).

{SE} More substantively, 9000 years is the basis of Aboriginal claims to
inherent rights.  The British clown (or is that crown?) failed to negotiate
settlements in some parts of the country and that is why we are where we are
at here in BC.  Land claims generally aren't an issue in other parts of the
country, because treaties were signed (irregardless of whether the First
Nations knew what they were doing) and the British law stands in this
country.

{SE} That our First Nations are destroying what is left of them through
alcoholism, drugs, glue, whatever, is something we should all care about.
They are people too, eh?  Try showing some humanity -- even the lower beasts
show compassion for those who suffer ("human refuse" -- a wonderful way to
characterize a million people in our country -- bloody redneck! -- do you
actually know what that refers to you poor example of humankind?!).  Are
they to blame for their situation?  Hmmm... Partly, maybe.  Is the
government to blame.  Definitely.  Are we (all of us, collectively) to
blame? Definitely (we are all accomplices, no less than the guy who drives
the get-away car).  Are we going to find a solution that doesn't involve
some sort of really significant compensation, long term support, etc...?
Not likely.

{SE} Get real. It is an issue.  What do you suggest to address it?

Cheers!
