First Americans

There's no community or police force in Whiteclay to put their foot down. There are no school children to be protected from drunken behavior. It's like a Mexican border town set up just to sell those north of the border what they can't get. And -- as I said before -- it's in easy walking distance of Pine Ridge. I realize politicians can be bought easily, but I think even the $21K in campaign contributions wouldn't stall a bill that could potentially fight public drunkenness and child prostitution in Lincoln or Omaha. The pols would be crucified in the press. But in Whiteclay, there's no outraged constituency.
