If government will not defend our civilization -- lives, letters, and graves -- then society must, despite having constituted a government for exactly that task.
The base story is rather engaging – all about a young Navajo kid who runs phenomenally well. But the underlying message is about how poorly America and the BIA has treated the American Indian. It is a condemnation of the whole reservation system.
In the process there is a great argument made that basically parallels what the Founders believed when forming the nation. The argument that property is the essential item of liberty. What you earn is your property and being able to control your property to do with as you wish is the essence of liberty.
Wish more people would read this little “pamphlet”.

Almost done…As usual, Ray gets to the heart of a problem in his own unique voice. Agree wholeheartedly, Dev, btw.
Finished it…Wonderful!
