"I would like to ask you why when we speak you do not listen, and
when you listen, you do not hear, and when you hear us, you do not
choose to understand what we say. This is one time that I ask you
to listen carefully and understand what we have to say."--Frank Fools Crow

* Service Announcement *
Juno and Netzero are blocking delivery of our digests to our

we operate an double opt-in list. Help us let folks know that they
need to add <info(AT)FreePeltierNow.org (

white list us. If the problem persists, subscribers should contact
their Internet Service Providers to resolve the problem.
