Salmo, I respect you as you have given this forum much in the way of sage advice and and timely info regarding the state of our fishing resources. As far as my challenges being silly,they're only silly if you look at them in the wrong light.Taken correctly, they should serve as a wake up to all the liberal left wingers out there. If you check the dates, they were posted before the weekend officially began, and go back farther than that. I know that most people were out enjoying the extended weekend, and that's cool. Some of us don't have the luxury of extended weekends, and I envy those who do. So this board is the only outlet I have to the world outside of running my own small business. Pathetic?? Hell yes.. But I pay the cost to be the boss.. seven days a week. Have you ever tried to start your own business? It's a tough row to hoe... Therefore, if I am to be considered part of some kind of "lunatic fringe", there must be a real reason for that. You state that you distrust any religion, well there my friend is common ground.. Religion is what keeps this entire world in a constant state of turmoil. Organized religion of any denomination is the scourge of mankind.This whole thread was aimed at those types who believe 9/11 was a government conspiracy, and believe that "live and let live" is the univesal truth...
