talkpoliticsThe following story is appropriate for citizens (and mice) of all democracies. Please watch...
Trouble with democracies is they don't lend themselves to electing mice very well. The trouble is the mice, after being elected, are corrupted into becoming cats themselves. Perhaps that's just evolution. (We all believe in evolution, don't we?)
Case in point are the mice ruling the mice on the tribal Reserve lands. Each Rez being somewhat unique with varying styles and degrees of self-government. In my critical opinion, I would say most tribal councils are corrupt. For example Chiefs driving brand new Chevy Avalanches every year. My opinion is shared by many native and non-natives alike, both on and off the reserve. But majority opinions don't matter in democracies, only those granted the legal authority to pass judgment does.
