Bam Bams Tribute To The SIOUX Nation Video 2006

It’s pretty moving tribute to the Great Sioux Nation with video and collages of pictures surrounding Mt. Rushmore set to a peaceful yet haunting melody.

I also think your new approach in taking things from a factual standpoint and not injecting unnecessary sarcasm will certainly encourage people to take what you do more seriously. I've never had a problem with crusading against scams, but in the past when it turned to attacks and rants, it did more harm than good (that's my opinion). I'm sure you see I've taken a different stance on hyip and surf programs. While I once believed there was a possibility for a legitimate offering, after two years of looking, I've found them all, 100% to be either a ponzi scheme, scam or just plain bull. I guess I'm more on your side of the argument now and yes, the monitor is going away and I do not accept ads for hyips or surfs (but I do have to honour existing contracts and I can't help what Google displays.) I do have an issue with "too much government". Society has to sacrifice "personal freedom", instead I'd prefer to encourage people to take "personal responsiblity for their own actions". We can feel sorry for someone who loses money in (for example) a surf program, but ultimately it was their own greed that got them burned. I wish I had the $1850 I lost to Andy and his XLO/TFT back, as much as I wish I had the $500+ I recenty lost to Jack Cobb in Planet-Trust or the $2000+ from CompactSurfing last year, but I accept full responsibility for making those decisions. I just paid my property taxes and the $5000+ I lost in surfs alone could have covered that and my homeowners insurance (note: I never made a profit in any of the surfs I went big into, 100% were losses). btw, Google has "Google Checkout" but it's very limited as far as a payment processor goes. I haven't seen many people using it. ps. thanks for noticing the sql error. You just found an error in the wp-related plugin. I patched it and submitted it to the bugtraq.

Since you brought up that history lesson, it reminds me of this group of Native blue musicians. JMV :) Hi C4G,

I happened to see their performance on TV many months ago and now I don’t even remember their name but amazingly this group has been performing for the past 4 decades with the same lead singer. Since you brought up that history lesson, it reminds me of this group of Native blue musicians.

It is very interesting. I always feel sorry for the unfair treatment to the Natives in North America and how they are being isolated and suppressed. There is a blue music sung by the Natives: “….. you may suppress us, you may put us to jail; but you can never take away our spirit……. our spirit is the most precious of all …. never give up ……………” (Incidentally, to my surprise, these Natives claim that they have the biggest influence on blue music with their native elements rather than the African Americans as we all know. They have the documentations and have been fighting for recognition.) Great lesson for us all!! JMV Hi C4G,
