I understand that. From what I have seen here I think he treats his wife with respect. However, if he posts drivel, tongue in cheek or not, I will say something. (I know Merc didn't write it!) My oversimplification could easily be: Native Americans were screwed in every sense of the word. Women are still lesser in a far too great number of areas.

I would be told that I was oversimplifying and would be called on it. I would be told that people can do whatever they want regardless of race, or gender, or other factors. The White Man can do that same thing, so don't expect me to feel sorry for the Angry White Man.

I can, if you take out White Man and insert any number of other sections of society.

No hard feelings guys. Just something that rankled me.

Now, get your ass over here and open my ketchup.
