I missed the beginning of this threat, but what's so bad about native
Americans building casinos?  I don't know how bad we whites were to the
Eskimos (I forgot the p.c. term), but we certaintly gave the short end
of the stick to most of the Plains Indians.  I think its great that they
are now getting their revenge and making millions off of our gambling
greed.  After all the native Americans went though, they deserve the
casinos a lot more than the mob does in Las Vegas and Atlantic City!

  By the way, I don't know if Julio was referring to this, but I have a
sneaking fealing that very few Eskimos kayak any more. It is one of
those lost arts that ony us comfortable middle class folks have time to
enjoy.  I bet that many hardworking Eskimos that still fish for a living
use good old motor boats - harldly attractive, but alot more pratical!

 ... I was actually thinking about the Alaskans.
