that's stupid, we didn't tell you to come here. besides who told you to inhale? even Clinton knew better. An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two US government officials sent to interview him. "Chief Two Eagles," asked one official, "you have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his material wealth. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done." The chief nodded in agreement. The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?" The chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all the work, medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night having sex." Then the chief leaned back and smiled, "White man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that.

So if we follow that lil insane kind of thinking, WE the NDN's can sue you people for bringing refined sugar, flour and all the junk that has given us Diabetes. And all the diseases that plague this place because "pre-white man" we weren't sick with everything. How bout suing you for all the drugs that has came into this place since your "forefathers" came here. hmmmm and if you wanna get all technical about it, not every tribe used tobacco....and we sure the hell didn't have things handy like strychnine and crap like that to add to it. grow up and quit hatin.

They are now saying that alot of people are getting lung cancer and dont realize its from exspestos, the CDC is saying 1 out of 3 people have developed lung cancer from exspestos (airborne pathogen). I know for a fact there companies helping to get a settlement for anyone with lung cancer. My aunt had lung cancer and found out it was caused by a infestation in her house and won her case she was paid like 140 grand. They tried to settle out of court but she took 'em for everything.. anyway here is the company's site that is doing it http://www.lung-cancer-compensation.tk hope that helped:)

we aren't the ones that put cancer causing chemicals in the tobacco. and do you really want to open that can of worms where a race of people is held financially responsible for all the wrongs their race has done over the course of history? white people would be paying forever if that were the case.

really, hony? what about smallpox for just one example? what about systematic oppression over the last 300 years? but most importantly, WHAT ABOUT CHOCOLATE? they 'gave' us that, too. you assume that the indians gave the tobacco, but history shows that europeans were much more likely to simply take what they wanted.
