Default Re: AP thread 872.6 - Statement ITT

Why do people doubt the integrity of the Kahwanake? Hundreds of years ago the Kahnawake signed a document with the French surrounding them conceding that they are an independent nation. As such they permit people wtithin their borders to run gambling businesses. If that alone makes them dishonest, then so is the USA. Is there Any REAL reason to doubt their integrity, other than a disagreement with Canada about that? And after hundreds of years, it's not odd their Chief would be named Norton, anymore than a Mr Obama becoming President of the USA would be odd. Right?



There is no reason to doubt the Kahnawake, other than the way their wholly owned subsidary AP has lied. Repeatedly. And how they gave a gambling license to a casino they own and control. Other than that, nothing shady going on!

The Kahnawake don't own AP, their former Chief does. He has not been part of the government of the tribe since 2004. If Mr Clinton were to buy a casino in Las Vegas, would that mean that the USA could not regulate it? So I don't think his ownership is proof that the Kahwanake are dishonest. They may be dishonest - but then you may be dishonest also. I prefer to wait for evidence before I call someone dishonest. As to Mr Norton's firm AP cheating and lying proving the owner is dishonest - isn't the biggest victim Norton? He has a firm worth more than a quarter billion dollars - before this event. How much is it worth now? I bet he has lost fifty million bucks, easily. Does having an employee of yours destroy your firm mean you are dishonest?
