Eddie

You may not know it, but I did asked other board members to review this post before I had posted it so that people like you would not take offense on it. Apparently you and "gooose" (the guy on the other fishing board) must both have some Indian blood in your veins.

Why else would both of you get so damn excited about one persons suggestion that the Indian Casino's donate one days of their profits to a special Habitat fund?

Both of you guys have gotten your hair up way to high about this issue, so it must be personal. All that I had originally said concerning the boldt decision was this;" Since the Boldt decision, the tribes have been maximizing the benefits from the federal government and taking every advantage possible, such as getting grants to do habitat recovery work, etc., etc. on their Reservation lands"

That is a fact! So what is your guy's problem with me stating that fact? It's not bashing the tribes, its just plain stating what has happen. If I am wrong then show me!

Since you keep bringing up the boldt decision, it would indicate to most that you may fear that if enough people get concerned again, that it just might end up back in the courts again. That's how it is appearing to me anyway!

Well if that happens, so be it! It's not going to change my life one way or the other, so I really don't care what happens! Saying that, it will not stop me nor will it stop others from discussing that decision in some detail from time to time on this board unless Bob wants to edit such topics.

If you don't like my thread-don't read it! Quite making your negative comments to it, or just let it lay! Or better yet, why don't you figure out a better alternative to create funding for our fish habitat and post it so that I can sit on my duff and play the critic roll like you and gooose (the guy on the other board) have done so well. As lease I have made an effort to get people interested in doing something to restoring our fish habitat and gotten them to think. It may not be the way you would do it, or your choice, but at lease I took the step to get something going!

Now you should know what "my intentions" were for making this post

So now eddie, its time for you to walk the talk or let it go!

There was no "baiting" intended on this thread, It was just one idea to raise some much needed money for our fishes habitat!
