Please accept my abject apology, Little Joe, I did not notice your
e-address was Canadian until I saw Eric Brunner's post on this thread.
I'm sure you guys have always scrupulously honored all treaty obligations
and the Canadian Indians who keep complaining otherwise are just a bunch
of victim wannabes.
BTW, how did it make you feel when the FBI filed perjured affidavits to

after they had him? Messed with your sovereignty, didn't they? Welcome
to the club.
