So I watched Dances With Wolves again today, one of my favorite movies of all time ( big western fan ). Then I read today's news about the republicans trying to void a law that blocks mining, oil drilling and such on public lands. It made me think back to the movie I just watched, I live out west and enjoyed going fishing and being in the outdoors before this curse of a disease has left me unable to do those things anymore. I understand that we need the oil and the minerals that create jobs, but we must understand that by destroying the things that make this country a great place to live ( sadly that is going down hill ) we are destroying wildlife, our own drinking water and the great place the outdoors are. The native Americans had it right, live off the land but do not destroy it in the process. The greed in our country just goes beyond belief any more, we have let the political system in our country become corrupt with power, last time I read the Constitution, it said WE THE PEOPLE not we the government. Normally I try and stay out of politics because it brings out the worst in people. Just my 2 cents worth, not that it means much anymore.
