Reading the paper this morning and read about an ancient American Indian burial site unearthed in a city nearby. The reason it was discovered is because workers were building a new retail and residential development. Residential? Ancient Indian burial site? Two words: they're here. Apparently a bunch of tribal reps from one of two tribes that deals with Indian burial sites in the county showed up to the site. The Chairman of the tribe said they deal with this stuff all the time and wouldn't discuss how the tribes and developer planned to move forward. I'm such a cynic. As I read further into the article I had to share with David. The following conversation ensued:
"Wouldn't say how they planned to move forward. I'm sure the developer just pays 'em off."
"Shit. It's like Poltergeist."
"'No biggee. Just go ahead and pave over our ancestors. But if you want us to remove the curse that will be an extra $4 million.'"
"'And in that corner over there could you build us a little casino?'"
