Re: Speech (was Re: [pct-l] JMT permits)
I'll supplement what I said earlier, if Bill Kristy was dropped, better
ditch me too. I have the same sentiments, and I agreed 100% with his
"controversial" post, in effect I said the same stuff he did. I'm
therefore just as dangerous with my bold opinions. if he was dropped, I
then too demand to be dropped on the same grounds of my dangerous opinons.
Anyone seen the film (Guilty by Suspicion w/ R. DeNiro, about the
McCarthyistic house on Un-American Activities in the 1950's) any rate,
sorry for the deja vu, there.
Soooo, if this turns out to be my last post and I get booted, thanks to all
those who improved my knowledge of the PCT and helped me prepare for the
PCT thru-hike that I plan to take in 2000 or so, I hope. If not, I look
forward to writing more controversial, different opinions soon.
