I mean, for the money it's going to cost we could probably have a nice
little war against a small village somewhere in the world where everybody
doesn't hate all Americans yet.

in other words, someplace in Canada?

Nah, I meant somewhere outside the U.S.

who knows that one of these days he's going to pay for this.

Sorta explodes the myth about harsh sentencing having no effect on
recidivism, don't it?

the logic here is hard to argue with.

Except when all you can see is the inside or bottom of a cloud, which
is quite often the case.

Someone's a tad negative. Go in the summertime, it's almost always
clear.

This was in October, pushing my luck, July-Sept is best.

Great - another waste of money, that we don't have that our children
and their children can pay back.

Right on, brother! Why, shoot, they could take that money and lease a
whole bunch of private land so you and like-minded (and mostly white)
folks could go hunting and fishing at a reduced OOP expense...

Silver Falls is a nice state park but
hardly in the same league with Yosmite, Crater Lake etc.

Maybe they could get Cabela's to sell it...

Ditto for Mt. St Helens. St Helens is pretty limited in what you can
do there. You can drive up and look at the mountain ( about 2 days
out of 5 ) or look at the inside of a cloud while trying to look at
the mountain. It wasn't that interesting before the mountain blew -
up, now there is even less access.
I would be in favor of St Helens if they would let people hike up to
and in the crater.

And if they don't do things the way you want, maybe they could get 'em
to sell that, too...shoot, I bet some raghead oil sheik or some Jap
would just love to own him a genuine American volcano...

The trouble with america today is we shield to
many people from Darwins Law. To many stupid people survive and breed.

Now, hang on a sec...there's an idea - sell it to the chinks...they'll
just send a thousand of them little yaller *******s at a time into it
trying to turn it into a beer can mine or something, and after a whole
slew of them are dead and they ain't got no beer cans, we REAL Americans
can buy it back on the cheap...I'll bet Wong's Sports Emporium will have
the listing...

Hey, at least you're an amusing ignorant hypocrite,

Being called names by you is assuring.
Here's one for you. www.votechooser.com Pol Pot and Hitler aren't
on it so 4th or 5 th choice is the best you'll do.
What are you going to do if Oboma pulls the troops back and you can't
sell pickels? In my experience you guys from Texas have a lot of
pictures of each other ****ing goats, if you have enough of them maby
you can find a position.

Not that I'd want to; but out of curiosity, how would they stop you?
Is threat of arrest the primary deterrent?

Joe F.

Well, um, yeah I guess that would be it. It's pretty hard to hide from the
law out there.

Hmmh, I guess you missed the dozens (hundreds?) of miles of spectacular
hiking trails all over the back country and the trail that circles the
mountain above timber line as well as the possibility of climbing to the
summit from the south side. Or perhaps those opportunities didn't
impress you. A substantial portion of the reason people aren't allowed
in the crater is safety but just as important is the desire to preserve
the landscape for scientific research. I realize that might not be a
potent political argument for you or the rest of the electorate but it
sure means a lot to those of us that do research out there.
