#G140* - DAKOTA INDIAN / BEATING A DEAD HORSE!

#G140* - DAKOTA INDIAN / BEATING A DEAD HORSE!

I find this stamp one of the most evocative stamps ever produced!

Without their horse this settler family are stranded in the great plains of America miles from not just anywhere but any thing.

There is no point in one of them taking the remaining horse for help - there is none. They must stay with everything they own, eat the horse and hope - if no one passes they will run out of water and will then have to hope the blood from the other horse will besides making them sick because of the salt content, will keep them alive a little longer.

Both the courage and the desparation was what opened up America and they had to hope that if they were found they would not have all their possesions stolen by the passing settlers and still be left to die.

No trees, no shelter, the only building material was 'prarie marble'!

BEATING A DEAD HORSE

This traces back to the College and University Public Relations Association of Pennsylvania (CUPRAP) as "Indian Wrestling with Management." We surmise the author has been discharged for cause (insubordination) and the objects of his derision repeatedly promoted. (The original list had only twenty items, but then we were audited in duplicate by the Federal Reduction in Paperwork Act.)

Dakota Indian tribal wisdom passed on from one generation to the next says that when you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. In modern business, government, and academia factors parameterized as discounted cashflow/return on investment extrapolations and managerial performance evaluations are critical junctures.

‘The arrogance and hubris of corrupt politicians
will be responsible for every drop of blood spilt
in the Wars of Disassociation, if Britain does not
leave the EU.

The ugly, centralised, undemocratic supra national policies being imposed by the centralised and largely unelected decisionmakers of The EU for alien aims, ailien values and to suit alien needs stand every possibility of creating 200,000,000 deaths across EUrope as a result of the blind arrogance and hubris of the idiologues in the central dictatorship, and their economic illiteracy marching hand in glove with the idiocy of The CAP & The CFP - both policies which deliver bills, destroy lives and denude food stocks.

The EU, due to the political idiocy and corruption of its undemocratic leaders, is now a net importer of food, no longer able to feed itself and with a decreasing range of over priced goods of little use to the rest of the world to sell with which to counter the net financial drain of endless imports.

British Politicians with pens and treachery, in pursuit
of their own agenda and greed, have done more
damage to the liberty, freedoms, rights and democracy
of the British peoples than any army in over 1,000 years.

The disastrous effects of British politicians selling Britain
into the thrall of foreign rule by the EU for their own
personal rewards has damaged the well-being of Britain
more than the armies of Hitler
and the Franco - German - Italian axis of 1939 - 1945.
