REGARDING:
“If you don’t agree then you must be ok with the US annexing to Canada and taking it over and relegating Canadians to 1% of the land of their country.”

We actually tried that and they beat us back.

David for leaving Canada alone

I think that it is wrong to threaten the state of fl. May I be forgiven for having an opinion.

@ Deborah
I guess since it’s been so long we should just forget about it. Native Americans haven’t been being compensated for 3 generations. This was their land. Their property. So yes, i believe, through taxes, they should be paid from now on. Cash money yearly.

Pick one or the other, it’s not Burger King.

When do we stop paying for a wrongdoing that happened 3 generations ago? Creeks should pay income tax like the rest of us and should not be allowed to grow pot. It’s time to rethink entitlements from the past.

They should grow it. It would help cut down on prison population as well as help raise taxes for the state and public schools.

everyone acts like there is not already pot and other drugs being made/ grown in the area. I think maybe it is more a case of it being done legally that may bother people. I doubt it will bring more crime in, it will just make the drugs more noticeable.

Let’s make a deal with the Native Americans; If you quit taking any federal money, we’ll let you do anything you want on your reservations.

@Chris….Yes, Really!!
Just like I don’t think Texas should be sovereign…..or Florida …..or any other state…..I think we should all be Americans!!!! Plain and simple. Yes, we all have backgrounds…..Native American……legal (and I emphasize LEGAL) immigrants from all around the world. We should all be proud to be Americans. Not IrishAmerican or SpanishAmerican. Just American!
Oh, and Chris, those “billions” you want to give…..I hope you pay lots and lots of taxes cause that’s where it would have to come from.
