Oh man...that's playing with fire Lithium. Frankly, even I find that a little out of taste.

But yes, something has to be done with these people. Drive through northern Saskatchewan, and see how many of the houses the gov't paid to have built are still in decent shape. It seems like most of those people living on reserves up there don't like doors, because every house is missing their door. Or when we drive by some random kid sitting in the intersection of a gravel road...it's sad really. The problem is that the gov't provides everything for these people. A good portion of them from the reserves around here (Hobbema, Wetaskawin sorta) will never have to work a day in their lives. They turn 18 and the gov't hands them a cheque for 90 grand or something stupid like that and turns them loose on the town. If we want them to become productive members of society, we need to stop with the handouts. Fine, we took your great-grandparents land 200 years ago. Time to move on and quit bitching about how hard done by your people are. It's time they become productive members of society. That's not to say there aren't some who are, but it seems like a good portion of them aren't.

Anyways, back to the OP...WK, I'm sorry about what happened. It's tough to understand what would possess somebody to do something like that. Here's hoping you get your pound of flesh haha.
