Years ago, the state of Louisiana had to give       up Robert E. Lee Day in favor of Martin Luther King Day. Just to make       you know who happy. Now Native Americans want to have their own special       day, just like African Americans. Of course, this will not go well with       Italians, who will be left no longer having a special day of their own.       So we might as well set up one day each year so that every group can       have its own special day. That way everybody will be happy.              During leap years we can have an extra special day for Leprechauns.              >Something that liberals would hate to know about natives, is that natives       > don't support illegal immigration.

Historians do not know what race he was. Only guesses.              --Lee              --        Big Or Small We Lay Them All       --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 80/1 88/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 700 1016 1017 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 288/100 292/854 8125 301/1 113       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 801/188 197 202 900/100 106 108 902/6 7 25 26 27 920/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 292/854 301/1 80/1 902/27 90/1 229/426           |
