Facts are, Arizona Armadillo, that mining existed here for well over 100 years. We are all still here, that is whose families came here at the turn of the 20th Century.

We used outboard motors and snowmobiles in the BWCA since they first became available. Even the Wellstone Wacko's hero, Sig Olson, ran around on Basswood with twin 25's. Poor Sig, lost his memory in old age and when Jake Pete recalled Sig's past as he sat with his long-haired hippies who adored him, couldn't remember those days.

There are hundreds and thousands of people, both local and non-local, who crave their outboard motor and snowmobile rights be RESTORED to the BWCA.

As to a private playground, Never have I ever said people who wish to paddle canoe, cross-country ski or sled dog through the BWCA should be denied. They have always been welcome. Only your pieces of human excrement choose to deny the rest of us the rights we were once guaranteed.

But you, of course, are from Arizona, the land of John McCain.
