I wonder: Do you you have to be an Indian?...

If the Oglala Sioux Tribe gets away with blaming breweries for their rampant alcoholism, mybe I can get in on this lawsuit racket too...It couldn't have been my fault that I once poured two cases of beer down my throat every day, so it must have been that evil Miller Brewing Co...

It also targets four beer stores in Whiteclay, Neb., a tiny town in northwest Nebraska at the South Dakota border near the reservation. Despite only about dozen residents in town, the stores sold almost 5 million cans of beer in 2010 -- almost 250 cans per Pine Ridge tribal member. Alcohol is not legal on the reservation.

Where do I sign up for this litigation bonanza?......Ben

"almost 250 cans per Pine Ridge tribal member" ... Aw, that's less that 2 cans per day. Ben used to use that many just to brush his teeth with.

Jeez.....back in the day I could put away some alcohol. Bartending at night there were times when I was drunker than the customers!

They just started serving alcohol in the tribe casinos here, but ask my Squaw and she said theres no wide spread alcoholism she's aware of.

Society would do well to enact tort reform that requires personal responsibility. An adult who smokes ought to know that it is a risk, someone who reaches into a running snow blower or lawn mower to clear a blockage ought to know that there's a risk. Idiots who don't make the connection should not be rewarded - they should live with the consequences. Lawyers have ruined this country and are probably more to blame than politicians - which many lawyers become.

I live on the Colville Reservation here in Washington State. When the spring snow melt the drainage ditches are plum full of empty beer cans and whiskey bottles. As soon as you leave the reservation borders the roadside beer cans dissapear. Our stores here do sell alcohol here. Its been a battle with the tribe though. There are alot of tribal members that I know that want to ban it here on the reservation.

Here's an idea for them.........quit drinking it...
