Default A TU Sellout?

The NLC is meeting in the very near future concerning this. Send the
folks at National an emaill and tell them what you think.

A free press is the watchdog of democracy.....well, would be.....if
either existed.....but that's a whole 'nother rant.

Anyway, who watches the watchers? An informed public, that's who.

Ah, but we can do something about that!

The article at the above URL contains at least one grossly misleading
statement.....as well as some distressing lacunae.

As to the first: "...in Montana, unlike other states, access is
guaranteed by the law." the casual reader, unfamiliar with access laws
in other parts of the country, might well suppose from this that
Montana is unique in this regard. This is emphatically NOT the case
(I know, of course, that George and many others here most certainly
know better......this is not for their benefit). Wisconsin and
Michigan both have what may, for practical purposes, be described
(only somewhat wryly) as virtually unlimited public access to anything
that bears a close family resemblance to a wet spot. There are others
as well. As in Montana, though, this fundamental and eminently
sensible right is continually under attack. If Trout Unlimited (or
anyone else) decides to cede this war, the outcomes of the sundry
battles become moot.

The article also fails to explain why it is that a law guaranteeing
open access to the public fails to be enforced. Are the police the
only folks in Montana prohibited from carrying guns?

g.c.

Oh and **** Lefty Kreh and Don (Dan?) Beaver too.

Well, not that I disagree with the sentiment, but anybody wants my
share of that bootie action is welcome to it.
