Navajos unaffected by recession!
Whew! THANK GOD. I'm mean, the days and nights I spent, my guts churning, wondering about the fate of the Navajos......
Its early in the running, but in the 2009 'Most irrelevant media brain fart filler story of the year' category, I believe we have a winner. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30783115/

They've been treated like crap for decades, relegated to scrub land and destitute poverty. Yeah, why should anyone give a crap about them, right?
At least they know how to live sustainably.

OH PLEASE......yeah, I'm denegrating the plight of the Navajo. Did I say we didn't utterly F them over and rob them of their culture? Nope. But how exactly is that relevant to current economic woes?
Sustainably? LOLOLOLOLOLOL.....care to check out the rates of alcoholism on 'the res' these days? Ain't nothing sustainable going on in indian country but booze and gamble revenue.

And that's better than real estate Ponzi schemes and frozen credit markets how exactly?
I'm not saying their situation is glamorous (it's not, and I've been to Navajo Nation several times) but that's precisely my point. They live in a way that's within their (meager and limited) means. That's something we could certainly learn a thing or two from...
