There was a book published in 1992 called 'United We Stand: How We Can Take Back Our Country' by a man some of you remember...Ross Perot. IF you haven't read it.....find it and do so....if you have, you'll remember that there was a good plan laid out there. The very first part of the book goes like this.....
"Unless we take action now, our nation may confront a situation similar to the Great Depression--and maybe even worse. Our economic growth has been sluggish for nearly two decades. The unemployment numbers remain depressing, while the Federal Reserve worries about inflation.
The institutions we depend on to preserve our financial security are shaky. If they fail, millions of people will be devastated. Banks are already weak/ The FDIC, which we as taxpayers guarantee, may incur liabilities greater than those from the recent Savings and Loan crisis."
Perhaps more should have stood up and took notice sooner....we can woulda coulda shoulda ourselves to death. The fact is that this country is in great crisis and it's time that WE THE PEOPLE stand up TOGETHER and make these politicians who work for US stand up and take notice that we are not going to take this crap any more!!!!! Another quote from the book goes like this, "We have broken the faith we owe our children. The politicians can't restore it. Only the people can. Only the people, the owners of this country, can make America strong again.
So how about instead of throwing all this blame around we band together as the true owners of our government and CHANGE IT!

We had a dog out here in Two Rivers that had been SHOT and was running around (one of those 'uncatchable' sled dogs) on three legs and they wouldn't do anything about it. We ended up borrowing a trap ourselves and catching the animal after several several several calls to the shelter. Luckily enough a very caring resident of our community was able to take her in and get her the help she needed!
There have also been complaints about a few horses in the area that have been allowed to 'free graze' in a field that doesn't belong to their owner. These horses are a nuisance and have caused problems for trail users time and time again....let alone the profits that are being eaten up (pun intended). Animal Control gets called again and again and yet nothing come of it and the owner continues to be irresponsible.

Saw him opening night at the coliseum in Vegas a few years back and it was well worth the $$ (and MUCH more than what they plan to charge here). His show is fantastic as would be expected. I highly recommend going if you have the chance. I am taking my 14 y/o son and hey guess what....I don't think that watching Elton perform is going to make him come home wearing a skirt and make-up. That kind of thinking is just ignorance run amuck.

Buying booze online is nothing new, especially here in the US. You don't have to go to an 'overseas' site to find it. For example, about 8 years ago in Denver, CO I found out while visiting friends you could get on the internet and order from one of the biggest stores in the city, and the booze would be at your door in an hour or less. In another mountain village we lived in had 2 liquor stores that delivered. There have also been several wine, beer, and other alcohol clubs that have made this internet option available so that those who cannot travel to the vineyard. brewery, or distillery can still sample their wares. It cannot be delivered by USPS and like the sentiment issued earlier, you just have to click that box saying you are 21 or over.
If you teach your own children to make good choices these are things you do not have to worry about them getting in to. If you are aware if where they are spending their time, and what they are doing online this is something you don't have to worry about.

I live out here in Two Rivers as well, and we are getting 'boomed' daily. What I love the most (and so do my kiddos) is heading out after we get rattled by the first ones and then just laying in the snow and watching the skies to locate the other jets. When it first happened last year I had a neighbor run over and ask if we were ok...he thought that something had blown over here! hehe Kinda funny huh? Anyway, keep flying...we love ya!!

If you are ready to 'storm' then I'll be right by your side Corinne and I agree that Jeff is a subsistence hunter. If they had come to the camp and that moose was dead and just left to rot there is no doubt that he would have been charged with wanton waste! If they can't get ya on one thing, they just change the 'rules' and get a on something else.

OK.....so....let's run down what happened in my life...married, had 3 boys, he left to be with another women before the twins (natural and identical) were born leaving me to 'figure it out'. I was high risk pregnancy so I had to leave my job in order to remain healthy. So now, single mom raising 3 kids....got on her feet and had a great job but couldn't continue working due to becoming disabled. Oh did I mention that my oldest is legally blind....and the child support that never comes...that helps right? My point is that people can't save for a variety of reasons and sometimes that puts 'us people' in bad places...places we do not WANT to be. We are good people (most of whom do NOT have 'toys' sitting around), and let me tell you, I wouldn't hesitate to help a friend with a place to stay, or a meal to eat, or a ride somewhere or whatever else might be needed because that is what decent people do, they care about the people around them regardless of how their 'problem' happened in the first place. I think that for the most part people here are kind and decent people and in ANY city, town, burb, there are going to be those who continually turn a blind eye to what is REALLY going on around them.
