One of the Band Members on the native reserve I live on made a protest yesterday which I was quite impressed with. {{post id=”dalles-member-willing-to-crawl-for-help” text=”Albert Jamieson crawled on his hands and knees in the dark all the way to town.”}}

The thing about it is that right or wrong, Albert was doing something for others, and what he thought was right.  There’s not a single other person on the rez that has the conviction to do that.  Yet people on the rez were calling the Band Office and calling each other and gossiping about how Albert was embarrassing them.  What’s embarrassing is these lardass lazy gits willing to try and talk crap about someone who’s getting off his ass and doing something right.

That pissed me off and made me realise that people are going to talk shit about anyone who’s shows some initiative, and a desire to make life better.  If anything makes these gossiping philistines look bad, then they’ll do just that – gossip.  Not a single other Band Member joined him to help.  Fucked up thing is I don’t see this bullshit happening off-rez.

Why do people have to talk shit and call each other after seeing him on the road and talk about it?  Why couldn’t these nosey busy-bodies take him some coffee or food?  Probably because they have pathetic fucked up lives.

For the record – I do NOT KNOW ANYONE’S NAME.  I don’t know the identity of gossipers – just that it’s a fact people were complaining.  Sad bastards.
