Hey everybody. Good Sunday to all and yes, Rich, I'm ready for some football. Go Titans!

In today's Parade Magazine in the Sunday paper there is a very enlightening article about Elouise Cobell, a member of the Blackfeet Indian tribe, who is valiantly working at getting the money owed them from the U. S. Government. The government took control of Native Americans' property rights in 1887 and they were assured they would receive income from their land. They never did. Makes me so sad (and mad and embarrassed) when I read of things like this and I know it all happened and many are still suffering, not to mention pissed, and I for one can't blame them. Anyway, didn't mean to get political, it is a real good article.
