Jeez folks... I never knew this forum was even here... reading what posts I have so far I feel like I can finally unleash my true self... so here is a start..
Idaho is a conservitive state... It goes republican every year. At the same time, we have the most wilderness designated acres in the lower 48 states.. we also have the greatest number of free flowing river miles in the lower 48. How could that happen ??? Easy.. As a state, we understand the value of this resource. If it costs you more money to cut the tree down than you get for selling it.. why do it ??? Just so a guy can have a job ???
There are roads to just about anyplace anyone needs to go... and you can walk to anyplace else. The " land of no use B.S " is coined by fat asses who are pissed they can't ride their 4 wheelers. " My unkle Billy bob is old and stove up... we needs to build a road so he kin come wif us huntin ".... To bad... he can't play pro football either and I don't hear anybody crying about that....
Washington state is already so screwed up that it would take a miracle to turn it around. Its logged out, its fished out, it was hunted out a long time ago ( How many people over there do you know that are headed over here for hunting in the next three weeks ?? ) A lot I'll bet. I don't know of a single person who packs up and heads to Washington to go hunting. Why, because it sucks... Why does it suck ??? because its been pretty much raped.
So why do we even care about what happens to you guys over there... Simple... decisions that are made in your courts affect our fish, and the reputation and value of the Northwest as a whole.
A good example would be the fiasco that you just had concerning WSR... God did you shoot yourself in the foot with that one. Its one thing to make a mistake on occasion but why you guys do it every single time on every issue is perplexing....
Hell, lets talk about things that have been done right over there, it will take a lot less time. :rolleyes:
