Dakota. Fact or Fiction?
I’d first off like to thank Kevin for plugging me in his blog on 4/1. I got a record 16 hits in one day. To my one or two faithful readers (including Kevin), read Kevin’s blog! Anyway, on to the point: Dakota.
Does Dakota even deserve to have a North and a South? I mean c’mon, why can’t they just be Dakota? I really should read up more regarding their history, but I’m going to go ahead and critisize off the cuff. The only thing the Dakotas collectively have is Mount Rushmore, and really that’s like the poor man’s Grand Canyon. The memorial to Sitting Bull should fall higher on everyone’s list. I believe that to be in South Dakota. At least people are fighting over the Sitting Bull monument. It suffers vandalism and constant battling of ownership by tribes. The last time anyone gave a shit about Rushmore was when it was built. I’m sure people drive all the way into the Dakotas to see it too. You might as well have a plaque and scaled model of the Mississippi River in Hawaii. Part of the “Great American Symbols Misplaced” campaign… I’m sure anyone from the Dakota territories would have a strong counter argument, but until they fight back, screw Dakota. I’d hate to only piss off two states in this rant, so I’ll throw a few more in. Delaware, Nebraska, Iowa and Mississippi you’re in the ”Dakota” league…
