Don't think anyone else participating in this conversation will be at the Tieton either, so no worries on dat.

I like learning from others' posts and appreciate the political banter as it proves we are actually thinking and that we give a hoot.    This is a fine group of folk and I hope everyone knows I sincerely appreciate them as people and boaters and respect opinions!! I surely don't want my spouting off to bum anyone out. I agree that this banter belongs in the non-boating folder....

OOOHHHH my head hurts, I cant believe I just read all this stuff, I will never get this time back in my life, I feel weary. 

Damn I finially have time to post and ther's so many to comment on . I would say first off politics are in most things it's sad but true, talking and discussion will change the world and alway's has, being self sufficiant is the best and only way to go. I am working towards having a home where I too can be off the grid. There are defenitly so many things to touch base on. One is that ( Southpark ) one of the best shows ever and sorry too say if your using Cartman as a back up on hating hippies, the show is an oxy-moron ! Cartman is actually a character that makes fun of the typicial middle class conservative consumer view. As are all the character's basicially so if your trying to put them down by using a quote from cartman you don't really grasp the show's true meaning. The writer's and artist's I'm sure are all for Hipiie's, alternative way's of fuel and being off the grid. But that's all just assumption and I say too you conjunction junnton, what's your function..?? And I'll have you ponder on this, "believe in yourself, question everything, time and movement are the only things that remains constant. That depends on how you set your watch of course and how often you pay attention too it !! But I don't where a watch, I JUST ALWAY'S KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS..YO! There's no time like the presant. Paddle on paddler's. I can only hope more people become independent not only in there way's of living but in thinking, researching , learning and teaching ! This web site is wicked good becuase you can see the view's of paddler's from all walk's of life and is a great way to see what people are made of.  I believe that the America and places such as, ( like the Iraq and the South Africa )will make a better place for map's as long as everyone has on star and map quest Programed into there Iris's by a nano chip in all our future children. Bam! Take that Miss teen Co. Boo yeah !!!
