Seat belts, Indian draw responses

In response to the "Personal decision" comment in Speak Out: It has taken me a long to time to "click it" because I couldn't get my seat belt around me. Now that I can, I consider it not just a privilege and a law. I want to live as long as God allows. I know wearing a seat belt is a personal decision, but I am nearly certain that if the person making this comment doesn't "click it" and has an accident and lives, he will be the first one at the lawyer's office to blame anyone but himself.

I also wish to comment on the Indian names for many teams. It is a proud heritage for the Indian Nation. I am ashamed of the various races, including my own, which took and took until the Indians had no nation of their own. Even today we continue to take what is not ours to take. To be honest, this country belongs to the Indian Nation. Maybe we are the savages.
