	<description>One man&#039;s squint at the metaphorical signposts, songbirds, soapboxes, street musicians, and hot dog stands of life. Criticism, lyricism, polemics, performance, and making change...all with mustard.</description>

		<description>I often hear people decry the various injustices throughout the centuries of &quot;civilization.&quot;  Immorality and inhumanity upset them.  They want to right the wrongs that are taking place now.  We all do.  That&#039;s a nice thought.

But when I mention to these well-meaning people that to be consistent with their strong feelings, this continent clearly needs to be returned to the native people from whom our ancestors stole it, they hem and haw and provide various excuses for their inaction.

The takeover of this continent from those who lived here before Europeans &quot;discovered&quot; it was and is unjustifiable.  Greed and might over right. But the crime was so great, and the appropriate reparations are so huge, that it transcends people&#039;s ability to do something about it.

Hooray for Indian Casinos.  May we continue to lose a lot of money in them.</description>
