Excellent. Quite the blow for Native Americans. Wonder what Admiral X would think of this?

Cool. I just hope it ends up being worth more than the paper it's written on.

Preach it, brother! See, this is why I don't resort to personal attacks like somehow insisting you are not really a Native American. I accept your word, within the confines of the anonymity of Internet text. I'm not gonna go full-blown "You're lying, Pocahontas!" like certain people I know could. Until I have proof otherwise, it's only my own opinion. And there are Native American Libertarians. Don't get why some people can't accept that. There are black Republicans. And Jewish Nazis. They exist.
