Default Trout behavior

I don't personally partake
in either activity so I view... (but probably more harmful than he does).


Probably not by much. But I don't do as Kenny F. suggests either. Go
figure?

all that hard a case to make that your illegal drug use is worse.

You could make that case, and you have before, but like I told Chester
comparing dope smoking to illegal ATV joyriding on public lands is
like comparing jaywalking to arson. If smoking dope were legal it
wouldn't harm anyone but the person doing the smoking. If ATVs were
legal everywhere on our public lands they'd soon be trashed beyond
reclamation. Motorheads can trash private property to their muddy
little heart's content, (so long as a stream doesn't run through it),
but they have no place on our public lands. They're too destructive.


Your opinion, and you're welcome to it. I don't personally partake
in either activity so I view your activity as much more harmful
than you do and "Chester's" activity as much less harmful than
you do (but probably more harmful than he does).

I've seen firsthand plenty of damage caused by both so don't get the
impression that I'm particularly naive on either activity. I just
view them as roughly equally bad so it seems hypocritical of you, to
me, to get so riled at someone else's illegal activity while you defend
your own.

Let's put it this way, I like most dope smokers and would fish with
one anytime. I detest white trash local yokels who think they have
some sort of god-given right to illegally trash our National Forests
for their own enjoyment and would never knowingly fish with such scum.


God forbid that you ever run into a dope-smoking motorhead.
