Matthew Schoeman: Wow, great job! Your post is the only one I've read that I actually can truthfully say I agree with. I definetely think that the ridiculous amount of reservation funding needs to end. Far from doing Aboriginal people any good, government handouts are helping to perpetuate the "lazy Indian," which, though perhaps a steroptype, is one that is quite accurate.

There are many allegorical similarities between L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz and the Populist Movement of the 1890’s, almost too many to believe they are accidental. However, writers tell stories about what they know, no matter how farfetched these stories may seem.

Depending on what mindset you read the book in, these connections…

Roosevelt used this act when he criticized the wealth of Americans on the account of violence exploding into the public that could destroy the whole system. Roosevelt also used the Pure Food and…
