What is Helium

About me - Carel Two-Eagle

I'm an Indigenous Turtle Islander - an ITI. A name that is uniquely OURS, and one no can say was 'given' to us by members of some other culture. Vernacularly, that's an Indn, which is how we pronounce "Indian", partly to differentiate it from the name of those

Parenting & Pregnancy > Working Parents Should mothers bring their children to work?: 13 of 13
Why are we being asked if only mothers should bring their children to work? This is sexist and shameful! Children have two parents, and fathers have more roles to play in their children's development than merely providing food, clothing, and shelter. Fathers are role models, too. In the not-too-distant past, children worked a... More..
Health & Fitness > Reproductive Health (Other) Abortion providers: Oriented toward service or profit?: 8 of 8
Like any other service, every abortion provider must think in terms of profit if it is to remain able to provide its service. Money and profit are facts of life everywhere, and at every time in history. History, by the way, is not exclusively a past-tense thing; history is an ongoing thing. History is being made by every one ... More..
Sports & Recreation > Hockey Should the NHL ban hockey players who have multiple suspensions for intentional injury?: 8 of 8
Should the NHL ban hockey players who have multiple suspensions for intentional injury? Yes. Absolutely. Hockey is supposed to be a game; a sport; therefore, there is supposed to be an element of fun primary in playing it. Hockey is not a 'war game', such as boxing or the martial arts. Hockey is supposed to be a game of skill... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should the government fund needle exchange programs?: 8 of 8
I believe this is as stupid a question as I've ever heard - that is, "Should the government fund needle-exchange programs?" I believe it is SO stupid, it doesn't deserve the dignity of much of an answer, since the people who addict themselves to injectable drugs (or any others, for that matter), are not forced to - they do it...

Jobs & Careers > Occupations (Other) Help Wanted: Homemaker: 7 of 7
I am a "boomer", according to the demographers. When women were burning their bras, I kept mine on - while I welded, did heirloom-quality blacksmithing and other metalwork, practiced orthopedic farriery. I was raised by my elders, and with the teaching that Rosie the Riveter was NOT a one-time thing or a flash in the pan.. Th... More..
Health & Fitness > Medical Ethics Should doctors be allowed to continue performing cosmetic operations on intersex infants?: 7 of 7
Physical characteristics do not determine whether an individual is male or female, in the Indn Way. Gender is determined by the kind of spirit that inhabits the body. Recent articles in such periodicals as Reader's Digest support our Traditional view. To read first-person articles who have been forced into opposite-gender bod... More..
Jobs & Careers > Job Interviews How to use body language to get the job you want: 5 of 5
One of life's greater truths is, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Body language is a huge part of that first impression. It isn't all of it, but a person with "presence" can favorably impress people even if wearing rags; while a person with a bad self-image or a defeated / defeatist attitude will make... More..
Home & Garden > Gardening (Other) How a warm winter can wreak havoc in your garden: 4 of 4
There are a number of ways a warm winter can wreak havoc in your garden, but the relevant questions are, "will a warm winter necessarily wreak havoc?" and "define havoc". The answer is, "not always and not automatically" to the first question; while "havoc" is defined as "total and utter destruction" - a condition seldom seen... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US News Toxic gas found in FEMA trailers: Your reactions: 2 of 2
Finding toxic gasses in FEMA trailers is no surprise to me, since we ITI / American Indians are given many such trailers. The official story is that they are gifts to help ease the housing shortage on our Reservations, which is horrendous. To me, this is just one more 'gift of blankets laced with smallpox bacteria'. One more ... More..
