Canadas 7 levels of creation First there was Geezoolgh, or god.he is the supreme being, the being of love..second was neesgam, the sun, embodiment of the creator, then came the rocks, the third generation...Fourth came the elements:winds, fire, water. Fifth came the plants; including the trees and the sweetgrass and all of our medicine and food. Next was the generation of animals and birds, which included every creature but ourselves, all the hawks, crows, eagles, deer, porcupines, whales, and snakes. We are the 7th generation of Geezoolgh, so if we do not think of the 7th genration of our own kindred,why should Geezoolgh think of us??We are the last branch on that tree. The other creatures all came before us, and know Geezoolgh, and they are our elders. It is time to listen to your elder.. Attiene \Abenaki Chief

The assault on rational thinking from the PC crowd is far greater I can't say it's caused me great anguish. I do remember a time when "colored" was considered a polite term for "negro" and now I tend to not use either one. It took a while for me to realize that it was the act of stereotyping that was wrong and not the degree of politeness in the term I used. Tiger the PC movement ended my freedom years ago. Unless you are posting from prison I don't have a clue what you mean. Actions have consequences, but that's not a PC lesson. TP
