You know, there are times I get on here, and really wonder how some peoples minds work. I love this BB and frequent it alot. But you get some people on here that feel almighty. Gutpiles really needs a reality check. I won't go into logistics here, since most people who put out comments like that can't comprehend them. But I grew up on the "Puyallup Indian Reservation", or so it was landmarked. I was a paperboy growing up and delivered to most Indians and non Indians around the area. I know EXACTLY how alot of Indians act and how they feel "We're not thanked enough". I agree Quinaults have done a great job on their reservation, yet I do believe most reservations are heavily funded by US dollars "since actually an Indian Reservation is it's own soveriegn nation they use our currency". I'll make you a deal, we'll thank you when you thank us for moneys given in aid (ie food stamps, welfare, etc), we'll thank you for a fisherie well done. I'm really tired of the "you took our land" BS. I'm afraid for 1000's of years lands have been invaded and stolen by the conquerer. To say "we owe you" is kind of an insult. Usually a conquerer will extinguish all conquests, take all lands and valuables, and give NO concessions to the victims of said conquest. Ok, I had my own tangent just like Gutpiles, all that was meant was the names of rivers, and he has to put a statement without reading Backbouncer's original letter. Man, it scares me sometimes and makes me wonder if the reason there's so many rude and inconsiderate people on the rivers nowadays is that most are so uneducated (and, when I mean uneducated I mean reallife AND schooling, not just schooling) Hmmmmmm, I wonder if one could dig his own river and plant fish in it for his own private run, or would that constitute tribal/state fish that everyone could catch????? Oh well, as always, I'll just float the rivers and keep to myself. I still use proper etiquette on rivers though alot won't use them back towards myself...... I guess since I never fish the Quinault I won't have to worry about fishing with Gutpiles....
