Free Speech Banned
The Turtle Mountain Reservation, in North Dakota, has banned a man from coming on Tribal lands. The reason? The man's political opinion. Here is a Minot Daily News story. Here is the man's blog. The whole, weird (perhaps it is more common than we think?) incident is well covered in his blog. Any way you cut it, what the Turtle Mountain Reservation did was political censorship. There is no way around it. A person of differing opinion has been banned from coming into the Tribal community for writing his opinion on his website.
On to his blog post that got him banned (original post). His views are very accurate. Indian Reservations are terrible places. Any one who has even just driven through one, knows this. And why are they this way? For the exact reasons he outlined. There is way too much government support. Basically, Indian Reservations need to be done away with and Indians need to live like regular Americans, under the same laws.

Thanks for the words of support. It's been a difficult few weeks.
Are you from North Dakota? Email me some time (rob@sayanythingblog.com), and if you want think about starting a reader blog on my site. It's always nice to have more voices on the site.
