| Quotations from Chairman Louie: “Our ancestors worked for a living,” he says. “So should you.” “Get off of welfare. Get off your butt.” “Quit your sniffling.” “If your life sucks, it's because you suck.” “The biggest employer,” he says, “shouldn't be the band [tribal government] office.” He also says the time has come to “get over it.” “Blaming government? That time is over.” "I spend my time on economic development and I don't care what you say; everything costs money. Even our traditional ceremonies cost money." He understands that "in order for you to attract and develop business opportunities, you must first develop a climate that's organized and secure" and has worked relentlessly to this end. |

| #1 That's a keeper. Chief Louie seems to have figured out how to break away from the government plantation in Canada. Interestingly, Thomas Sowell had a column this a.m. entitled Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene. He said: "Do people who advocate special government programs for blacks realize that the federal government has had special programs for American Indians, including affirmative action, since the early 19th century--and that American Indians remain one of the few groups worse off than blacks?" Many blacks and American Indians have figured out how to get out of poverty and get away from the nanny goverment; they figured out that they were just being played for a vote while being kept in poverty. |
