These are the days

   Now just to let you know, I have a profound respect for Native American people. Their way of life before the White Man showed up on the scene fascinates me to no end. I truly feel what the White Man has done to their culture is nothing short of barbaric rape and pillage. With that said yes I am white, though I do have many friends from many walks of life.
   I also have family that have Downs syndrome and have spent time with people that have the genetic disorder. I had a friend that worked for a local business whose main goal it was to assist those with Downs Syndrome lead a normal life. She would transport them to and from their place of employment, plus take them to the movies, bowling, etc, in which I would go with her on occasion, (and having a blast!!!). So I do not see them as "retards" they are quite a special group of people that our society can learn alot from.
   With that said now on to the show!!!
I was in a convenient store in said Page, AZ training a co-worker on the ins and outs of our new handheld computer system, when a woman started laughing with one of those ridiculous horse laughs. Not to mention there were quite a few Navajo people in the store. As I monitored my co-workers progression, turned to him and said,
"This town sure has alot of Navajo and retards in it." retards due to the woman laughing like a horse at something totally stupid. Our adventure, within the minute, led us to the front door to which my eyes landed upon a man that brought both facets of my comment to bear. A YOUNG NAVAJO MAN WITH DOWNS SYNDROME WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR!! IRONY IS AMAZING!!! We moved out of the store back to our truck when my co-worker smiled at me and called me one of the biggest assholes he had ever met. I must agree......
