But we both understand they werent the least bit interested in learning about new cultures then. That may be different now.

The evolution of the two cultures has not ended. Before it's over, NAs may very well beat the (white) man at his own game.....with the applause of white men.

How many people would like to see the SC uphold the treaty with the NAs regarding taxes and the sale of cigarettes? I would. Did the US gov't make the treaty stating that they wouldnt be liable to collect and pay taxes of the US gov't (Fed, state, local)? If I'm not mistaken, they did. Will they honor it? People of all colors will be watching as they screw the NAs again by not doing so.

Please understand I have empathy for the NAs. I think it's really funny though, that the US gov't stacks the deck against them even while it supposedly is a friendlier more thoughtful gov't now.

[rant] If they made the treaty, they should just fuck off and stop hassling them over the cigarette taxes lost, that were not crucial to the (white) man's society at the time of the signing of the legal agreement[/rant]
