Hello, "The Government of the United States has made 330 contracts with the Native American people, and has so far broken 329 of them." Tom Laughlin, Billy Jack He makes another comment in there which seems appopriate, but I dont have the exact wording. In essence, he states that the only reason the White Man insists on using contracts is so they can use them against the opposing side in court. As opposed to the Native American culture where a person's word is their bond. And on a related note, "My word when given is good." Liam Neeson, Rob Roy. An interesting story about somebody who the historical record shows as a Bad Guy but made a loveable romantic hero. He also stated "Honor is a gift a man gives himself. Im not sure what it all means, but I still dont agree in making enforceable contracts legally binding since I personally dont want somebody around who doesnt want to be with me. I will help you pack and pay for the move. An enforceable contract wont keep a person there, it will simply allow one to sue for damages. Just me, could be wrong, but there you go. Sinergy
