As a logging community of the past, the families that moved here 125 years ago lived off the land. People in vastly populated states tour our wonderful state to experience nature and enjoy the many amazing ammenities that we have the luxory to take for granted. It would be very "narrow minded" to limit the experience to "hatcheries" and artificially simulated experiences. We need to use our special environment to pull tourism dollars and provide family friendly recreation and promote good stewardship concerning what nature has provided and man has sustained. It would be a shame to allow those special interest groups to prevail at the expense of the families that rely on this as recreation. Where does diversity play in that picture?

You have support out there from those people who know a little bit about what the county is facing. My time as a victim advocate gave me good reason to respect what the District Attorney and law enforcement have done with little resources. Keep on keeping on, Alex.

Education for technology isn't doing the job education for good citizenship once did. Every child should know we protect our liberty by obeying the laws, but this is no longer explained. When we first mandated free public education, it was to teach good citizenship and stop social problems that were increasing with the increasing immigration. We didn't leave it to parents to teach their children good citizenship, but knew their parents would learn from the children. This is the most effective and cost efficient way to have social order.
