babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

I do worry about how the US Feds are going to react.

Apparently their tax plan is to not have any taxes, and they are inviting other Americans to renounce their US citizenship and join their tax free nation.
I'm not sure where this information is coming from, but it got me wondering if they would accept Canadians who would pay taxes?
In my opinion, this waiting to pounce puts a chill on the board.
On the topic:
The main question is, will it build walls or tear them down? I'm certainly for self-determination.
This is great - though I doubt Bush and his oil patch friends will be celebrating.
The many others in that nation mired in war may learn something from this. We can hope.
I didn't read the thread and the only thing that caught my eye was Lakota and I posted something very stupid.
Nobody was waiting to pounce.
I just knew that the product had no affiliation with the nation.
And I thought it was that to which clersal directed the apology.
Thanks for bravely sticking up for white supremacy.
Never miss an opportunity, do you? Your churlish response was totally uncalled for. When you like to NAME me, what message are you trying to send other posters?

Go back to my first post, read this link,...ANYBODY...and you may even decide that Makwa was reaching to make a point that bordered on pompous.
I modestly submit that my contribution to this thread was as legitimate and constructive as his or yours.
It was not my intent to be critical of clersal. I just felt the apology was illustrative of how so many appear to be walking on egg shells.
Examine the link and your bias.
You have never said something idiotic before you thought? I do and to end this absolutely stupid discussion over my mistake I am going to remove it all because between the two of us we have nicely managed to fuck up a thread that was interesting.
SHIT.
If you get a page not found message, be patient and try again in a few.
From Russell Means, Itacan of Lakota:
“United States colonial rule is at its end!”
from here.
Have the official Lakota leadership waded into this at all, does anyone know?
Regardless of what authority Mr Means has as simply an activist, this is a brilliant move to bring awareness to the dismal affects of colonialism on the Lakota, and no one can really begrudge him the brilliant PR tactic. And who knows where ideas like this can actually lead.

And now because of their threat of secession, their servers are crashing.

"Traditional treaty councils"
Are there also 'government controlled' councils like the Band Councils here?
Oh...it's a native board. Hope this helps, they have links to most media articles.
