"How can you group hard working business men like fishermen and loggers with scum like the KKK?"

Easy....its just as silly as trying to group Kerry in with earth firsters, ELF and the like.....if you're silly enough to believe THAT kind of hyperbole then the kkk comparison should make perfect sense to you, unless of course you are wearing your 'rose colored glasses'.



Someone brought up the fact that it was the dems who built the dams....if I'm remembering my history correctly that's true. Keyword: History....the past. We can analyze it , Monday morning quarterback it and beat it to death but we aren't going to change the or influence the past.

What we CAN do something about is the future. We have to analyze the policies of the PRESENT candidates to determine what might be best for the country, more specifically in the context of this thread what's better for us as individuals when it comes to their industrial and environmental policies.

Again, for me its easy. When it comes to my personal outdoor policy I want to protect native steelhead in every way possible. I own all the guns I need to protect my property and hunt so restrictions on their purchase won't affect me. I'm not planning on overthrowing the government by force any time soon so I can't think of too many reasons why some restrictions on the sale of dangerous or easily modifiable firearms isn't reasonble.....

I wish those people who so ardently defend their constitutional rights when it comes to guns would also take a close look at the patriot act and object just as strenuously to having 'their constitutional rights stripped'.
