Understand? [ Thu Jan 22 2009 6:24 PM ]
I don't really think there is anything to understand. Pueblos don't want pictures taken of their sovereign land. Pretty simple actually. We don't need to understand, we just need to respect. And I apologize if it seems like people jumped all over you on this. I just think what you said about it was a bit problematic. Last edited [1/22/09 6:26 PM]
My goodness...... [ Thu Jan 22 2009 5:46 PM ]
I really like what this "kristin" girl has to say. We should meet sometime :) By the way felix, Kristin is saying your point of view is ignorant not that you are. But I'm disappointed that felix is making a comparison between the Pueblos ASKING people to not take pictures of their sacred land without permission and an occasional Native American driving drunk. And to assume that the way we view America should be the same way the Pueblos do is ridiculous. Remember, OUR fore-fathers created the United States, THEIR fore-fathers lost wars and were therefore subjected to live within its borders. Based on the way you feel felix, I would assume you reject any sort of rights of religion. Non-mormons can't just walk into a temple. Is that wrong? I'm an American and proud of it. I thus have rights. But so does every other person on God's gloriously green earth. And my rights don't involve subjecting other people to my will. Neither do yours.

And she makes good rice krispie treats. So I went and looked at some old topics. Come on, the Buvette is really not as bad as some of you suggest. It is missing maybe a couple of things that would make it great, but what restaurant isn't? I think it's a bit strange, hard to pin down. Maybe that's why there's the criticism. They've had no consistency in terms of staff and without a chef back there holding shit down, things can be a bit screwy. Fluffs - who has consistent service? I was a server and was not consistent, that happens. I say support these guys, they're trying and doing a pretty damn good job if you really look at it. They're young, local and very hipster. And they're rock stars. AND they have a good selection of boozes/beers. They're not a 5-star restaurant. But again, who is? They have more than eatable food, booze and coffee. And they're getting better. I like em. |
