arius, I am glad the you find pleasure suckling at the teat of corruption. That is your privilege. Your defense of the status quo tells me where your bread is buttered. Those who hide behind the walls that keep the starving from the table of the gluttons, are themselves most often only pets. Far better to share in equal hunger than lick from the spoon of masters.

Some men are not born able to feel for another; the joy, the pain, the love, the sorrow, that is all around them are beyond the blind eyes and deaf ears of those who willingly forsake freedom. Such is the price of security.It is natural for the lap dog to bark the loudest, it has the most to lose.

Yet, in all places,in all times, there are those whose souls cry for freedom and an equal portion of our Creator's gifts. Such men and women can no more ignore such feelings than the wild goose can ignore the sky. Freedom is abirthing in the souls of some every day, and dying in others. Some of us know why the caged bird sings.

I hold no grudge towards any man, except those who would trample on the self evident rights of others. And when such tramplings occur, I can do no less than utter my contempt.

My people were bested in a long ago war, and put in shackles of poverty on reservations so that the Black Hills could pour gold into the pockets of the rich. Every treaty was an empty promise, and every promise a veiled threat. I hold no anger for the past, for there is no future in looking to the dead while yet in the land of the living.

I am now as much an American as any on these shores. I have served in the armed forces, I vote (for all the good it does), I am as much a part of this great nation as the power brokers allow anyone outside of their circle to be. But my people have not forgotten the lessons of treachery and deceit that were taught so well long ago. It was not the coming of the settlers that beat us, for we have always been an adaptable people. We were beaten by the power of greed, by those who coveted more than they needed.

This is now my country as much as yours, and I have as much right to say what ails it as any. Our nation is sick with leaders who fail to be honorable. Is that so hard to see? There is now no difference ,except for the spelling, between a politician and a prostitute.
