I agree. The thing we all need to do is realize that people listen when speaking respectfully. I don't like Bushes policies and what they mean. But I also know we don't have much choice for the next 4 years. We either figure out how to get a long so we are heard or get bull dozed. Apparently there are a whole bunch of people out there who really like him. We will see if they still love him 4 years from now.
Gets back to the old saying: How do you eat an elephant? ONe bite at a time.
Dialogue is important and that happens by listening and being respectful. Butting heads is the fastest way to make sure that we don't get heard. Now that is something to be concerned about.

I don't know this seems fly fishing related to me. The president wants to lift/change protections on salmonids in the NW. How is this NOT flyfishing related. Just because you don't want to hear about it does not mean it isn't relevant.
Thanks for sharing Bob.
