Bow, what question? or maybe I should ask, what answer do you want to hear, eh?

Is this the one you're referring to?:
"No Sunny, I wasn't pullin your leg last time. And I don't know how you could've got that idea. Because I remember very well what it was that I asked about in regards to what your "teacher" wrote. Which was that "indians were given things by the U.S. govt in exchange for the land" (paraphrasing). That statement bristled my hair and it still does. I asked you if he had ever changed that idea after he had lived here, and you said as far as you know he hadn't because he liked to make statments that were drammatic, or something to that effect."

So, what am I missing here ??? Seems to me I already answered this one, in several different ways, also by talking about those "zen hits" and all ...... so, whats up ???

really confused, now .... could you please ask the question again ? Thanks. :o)(
