That might be the most inaccurate and idiotic thing I have ever read
on this forum.


What a difference a day makes. . .

Many officially designated Parks, national and state, have been
charging for access for decades. Many state and national Forests have
been using private contractors to run Forest camps (and Park camps and
housing and concessions) for decades.

Are you very young or did you just not get out in the woods often
before Clinton was president?

Please email your Member of the House of Representatives and ask them
to vote against the House Reconciliation Bill (HR 4241) because
sections 6201-6207 would allow the sale of public lands from public
ownership.


It's failed to pass the House, so far.

The sticking point: a provision that would extend the tax cut on capital
gains and dividends through 2009, according to reports in Tax Notes and
the Wall Street Journal.

Most of them don't give a **** about the environmental issues.

The economy is important too. Bozo!!! We aren't quite a socialist state
yet, but voting folks like you will try your best.

The economy is important too.

Forbes Magazine said, a couple of years ago, that Clinton had the best
economic record of any president since WW II.

I don't suppose you remember a guy named Forbes who wanted to be the
REPUBLICAN candidate for the Presidency a few years ago.

That is because Clinton was lucky. Lucky in that he had a Republican
Congress that actually controlled the spending for a couple of years, and
the huge dot.bomb bust that cranked up a huge amount of surplus money to the
Fed's.
