WT- you seem to be throwing this word foolish around quite a bit-or telling a Elder wisdom flees him,
or making a joke of another's dreams. As you no doubt have seen I have been involved in a skirmish
or two during my tenure here and probably will be again, but I don't use a shotgun approach and blast
away indiscriminately. I don't agree with everything Russell has to say either-but in the "purity" of the
old ways you often allude to I show him some respect if for no other reason than he is an Elder.
This approach you take is a clone of the behavior of the whites you advocate against. Take a breath
pause a moment-the RoL isn't going to disappear and there will be plenty of time to say what you will.

Your traditional ways are strange to "us" - we are teachable though

Thanks for taking the time to do so.

Word up as they say GV- I would have thought the one I speak to who in their advocacy of tradition
would have this understanding. No attempt to teach on my part, only responding to a "foolish"
display.

You would not believe how much you have tought this white man. We share as brothers

Those same politics can effect you if you do nothing as well WT. A good man will do his best to stop a wrong from happening, whether to his family, extended family, nation, etc. If Russell sees a path in politics to help right some wrongs effecting His people, who are we to chastise him? You do not live his life, you have not had his experience. Therefor you do not see all he sees, you see different things. Respect that he has survived many winters, and try and learn what he is willing to teach. MAYBE then you will have enough knowledge to question his actions, then again maybe you will see that the first step to wisdom is accepting that you don't know it all, and never will. Take a lesson from the grandmothers, listen.

WT in the anti bias thread you say you are a laughing stock on this forum-if so it is by your hand-
and so I would ask you-is the the way to share an idea or attempt to rally a people? This messianic
figure you are attempting to be is only alienating everyone and anything you might have to say that
is of value will be dismissed.
Whatever message it is that you think you bring step back from it and depersonailize the presentation,
this golly gee chicken little the sky is falling thing isn't working. We all know the issues we face and it
would better serve you to recognize that and discuss issues rather than insult people and claim to
be something you have not earned.
The fate of the nations does not rest on you, it lies upon all of us as individuals and as a collective, and
your seeming inability to accept that and thrust yourself to the forefront is counterproductive. You may be
a law student but that in itself merits little-don't practice or attempt to hone your courtroom personna
here, it is the wrong venue.
If you feel the need to insult then direct them at me-I've been insulted by masters and I doubt you are
capable of coming up with anything new- in directing them at Elder's you only belittle yourself and roil the
water. There is a circle, step inside it.
