I am offended by your reference to Coyote. Are you Native American? By
what right do you have to refer to yourself by the name of Trickster.
The trickster teaches people how not to be, is this what you are saying?
I find it incredibly presumptious if you are a white male to refer to
yourself by something that many Native people find sacred.
