Most of the time, one has liability when the courts say you do. Do we have exposure to liability? Yes. And, there is nothing that will take that exposure away. If someone were to sue you, even if you win, it may cost you quite a bit of money. The nature of such a case- you would most likely be covered under your homeowners policy. Even putting a disclaimer on something does not limit your liability. It may help, but only the judge will determine ... We have 100,000 times more exposure to a law suit when we drive our cars! We still drive our cars every day! Just a few cents worth Chip

My name is Chip. My real name is Roy. I am named after my father, but have really never been called Roy at all except on official documents, or perhaps when I go to the doctors office. I really prefer to be called Chip. When people meet me as Roy, it usually doesn't take long for them to get to know me as Chip. Chip is what I call myself and what my friends call me even though there is no documentation really for this being my name.. And, I have been called Chip from birth. No matter what you call me I am going to "educate you" about who I am. This is what is important. I think in such a political situation I would take the time to "educate" people in a positive way to understand my people, who we are, and our past. This is what is important. If you call us the Stink Butts, but have come to respect us, and come to be our friends, I will be happy. In a friendly and positive way, help us to get to know about you and your heritage and you will be respected. And you will appreciate what people think about you, and your personal issue with this will go away... Of course on the other hand- If you don't care what I think about you, or how I feel about you, but, what I call you is most important? Let me know and I'll probably call you that, but will really never get to appreciate who you are! ...and that is sad...
