Dino, I guess that you must be calling B.S. to my statement about the Dams feeding even you west siders.. Where in the hell did I mention anything about soft white wheat??? I don't know what kind of work you are in but I'll guess if you live in Walla Walla that your work or your wifes(assuming you have one) is indirectly or directly impacted by the surrounding economy i.e. farmers.. Take them out of the equation and what do you have?? Sorry but you don't have the dot comer's or the microsofts to fall back on. If I thought/believed that the removel of the Snake Dams would instantanously bring back the fish runs than I would be all for it. However, I tend to believe that it wouldn't accomplish much of anything. After the Dam removel you will soon realize that oops we also have a tremendous amount of habitat degradation and that is why there are no fish returning! Now we are in the same boat as western wash.!Thanks but If no dams means that are fish returns will simulate the coastal rivers than I will chose to live with the dams until we finally decide to get a set of Kahuna's and stop the decimation out in our high seas, stop the netting etc... As for the barging of wheat, those dams offer alot more than transportation for a barge.
