I have been reading an incredible book called "Native American Testimony" The book chronicles half a millennium of history from the native american point of view. I wanted to include hear a short insert from the book on the converting of native americans to christianity and catholicism from one natives point of view.
"We where at the church where the white man stood up and begin to read us the ten commandments.
thou shalt not steal
If you steal you will not go to heaven. Henry Brownbear got up and said "I used to steal horses, but I don't do it any more."
Thou shalt not lie
again Henry Brownbear stood up "I do not lie. I always tell the truth."
Down the line he went. Henry got up after everyone. Finally the white man said and the last one
Thou shalt not go with another man's wife, Henry Brownbear again stood up and said "That's to much. I want that woman sitting over there. I guess I'll just have to go to hell.....

I laughed when I first read this
I really think I might be racist..........
I only ever use the brown smiley face. *shrugs shoulders*
I have the dubious task of holding weekly practice Sunday. Its not going so well. I have only been able to contact one person out of the group. ( the group is only 5 people but still only 1 person
) Plus I still have yet to figure out where in maine I want to hold it. It has to be out doors. Maybe york beach or Mt. Adirondack or there where a couple places in portland that we've practiced at before. I just don't know. I wish I knew Maine better.
Yesterday a man who apparently didn't like me started yelling at me for no reason, calling me names. Which is fine I've dealt with this before and I will again. So I simply shrugged it off until he called me a.........NAZI. At which point me and Revpluto3k burst out laughing. I've been called many things a nazi has never been one of them. Although I must give the man credit he did out me I mean after all just look at me I embody every thing Hitler wanted in his "Pure Race" We simply continued laughing at the man saying "seik heil" People now a days. I don't know whats worse really having racial insults thrown at you or having the wrong racial insults thrown at you.
*I just added the pictures from my trip taking care of forty five sled dogs in Bethel Maine. So take a look*

1. the little girl would have been mangled in some way. Not that I'm into hurting children but these guys are suppose to be stone cold killers and she didn't have a scratch.
2. He would have killed the woman in the bar. He said he would kill everyone in the way but he spared the woman but killed the guy. Once again I'm not about hurting women but thats what he said.
3. He would not have bled to death. They would have shot him.
The movie was obviously suppose to be grim and they stopped short. I know this wasn't Denzels or even the directors fault. It's mostly hollywoods fault. There's no way they would have greenlighted that.
I think I saw his boredom when he did "John Q". He's reaching for something to do. That's why he's doing plays again. He should direct. Antwon Fisher was pretty good.
