While we are all talking about the U.S. Election for President- there is another election about to take place, that you may be interested in. I know I am.
It's for the Presidency of a Native American Tribe in South Dakota- and one of the candidates is an interesting guy-
His name, is Russel Means. And he really makes you think.
Here, for some intellectual stimulation, is the guy I am supporting for President (of the Pine Ridge Sioux Nation).

He is an amazing American.

In 1988, the faction headed by the Bellecourt brothers released a statement stating that Means had publicly resigned from AIM on no less than six occasions, first in 1974
Since the late 1970s, Means has often supported libertarian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian) political causes, putting him at odds with several of the other leaders of AIM. In 1986 Means traveled to Nicaragua (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua) to express his support for Miskito (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miskito) Indians who were allied with the US-funded contra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra) guerillas against the Nicaraguan government. In 1987, Means sought the nomination of the Libertarian Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Libertarian_Party) for president (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States) and attracted considerable support within the party,[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russel_Means#cite_note-5) but eventually lost the nomination to Congressman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives) Ron Paul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul).[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russel_Means#cite_note-nytimesmagazine-6)
Means began an acting career in 1992, appearing as the chief Chingachgook in The Last of the Mohicans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_the_Mohicans_%281992_film%29). He made subsequent appearances in Natural Born Killers :D (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Born_Killers)
In 2004 Means made a guest appearance on the HBO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBO) program Curb Your Enthusiasm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_Your_Enthusiasm).

Well, what's your opinion of Colonel North? Do you post videos of him expressing his videos?
