I oftentimes agree with what you say but I must say that you are treating this like a court of law or something. You dredge up all this "evidence" to support your side of the story and blast the hell out of people who disagree. Wake up man! This is an OPINION board...not a courtroom or a quiz show. Eddie has opinions as I do and you should take them for what they are..OPINIONS> I think you need a good flaming on this one
So here comes the flame thrower:
You usually make a good case for things relating to the Cowlitz which I know little about . On the issue of indian relations you just suck. If I were a member of a tribe I wouldn't give you the sweat off my cajones. Furthermore you should really look into some of the positive things that are already being done by the tribes. I am extremely critical of alot of the abuses with fisheries but I also am aware of things like the Sockeye fishery in Lake Washington which would simply not exist if it were not for efforts by the tribes. So I can blast the tribes when they are taking unfair advantage and still seek to work with them instead of intimidating them as you seem to be trying to do. MNaybe you think your post is a noble gesture but I see it as a sham.
Get out your fire extinguisher.
