Too often, when I think about it all, I also think that I won't miss being on this earth and being part of it all....<BR/><BR/>I wish I had the power. I've been thru that "Indian Country" and the poor parts of Appalachia, etc., and it just makes a person so depressed, they wanna cry.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry for the poor people all over the world and I'm glad we try to help them, but I sure wish we'd take care of our own, first....<BR/><BR/>I guess I just don't understand the <I>Big Picture</I>, dumbass that I am!Mohawk Chieftainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507926109302178352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25552756.post-1151497001054292282006-06-28T08:16:00.000-04:002006-06-28T08:16:00.000-04:00That was something the really affected me while ri...That was something the really affected me while riding through "Indian Country". You can just feel the poverty. And obviously alcoholism is a big problem on many reservations. I don't know if you've ever clicked on any of the Wikipedia links for the various places I've ridden through. For the small towns, the site just gives some simple demographic information. But it includes info like average annual income, racial makeup, etc. It's pretty sad and is something that needs to be addressed.Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192928551910037346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25552756.post-1151457558927071562006-06-27T21:19:00.000-04:002006-06-27T21:19:00.000-04:00Boo:Check out this story in the news...http://www....Boo:<BR/><BR/>Check out this story in the news...<BR/><BR/>http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/27/beer.blockade.ap/index.htmlMohawk Chieftainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507926109302178352noreply@blogger.com
