I Quit!!!!!
You All win, I give up!!!! nothing I ever say goes without some sort of
smart ass remark which in turn makes me feel as though I am a complete
idiot. It is unfortunate that the v2020 list is comprised mostly of
JERKS!!!!! If you want your town and state to fall to ruin then I could
give a crap anymore. I once loved the Palouse for it's beauty and
gentleness, for it's kindness and happy faces. But now the only ones
smiling are those on the frikin list. I am of course not address all of
you there are a select few who are good apples in this barrel, but the rest
of you can take your worthless linear parks, your "let's make Moscow a nice
place to live" ideas, and another transplant, big city notions you desire
and.......Well I am sure you get my drift. I could not be happier that I
know longer live in Moscow.
I came to visit not long ago and after more than a year its the same old
crap, same old names, same old song and dance. If you really want the
Palouse to be, one again, a nice place to live then I suggest you give it
back to the original caretakers of the Land, The first Americans, The Nez
Perce, The Kootnia, The Shoshone, and all the other native peoples. They
are the ones who new how to be care takers of the great land, for they
appreciated what the great spirits gave to them, where as we
Euro-transplants don't have a clue other than I want, I want, I want or
Mine, Mine, Mine. The Land belongs to no-one. You can remove the dirt but
the land is still there, you can't take it with you.
I truly believe I was a Native in a former life, a Native from the Palouse
region, and I do not like what you are doing to the land, that has been
placed in our hands as it's care takers.
Idaho, was a great place to live, Once upon a time.....in a beautiful
country......beautiful scenery.....yadda, yadda, yadda.
So I am sure that many of you will be very happy to see that I concede!!!!
You know what's best for the Great State of Idaho!!!!!
So hurray for Helen Chenowith,
Hurray for Kempthorn,
Hurray for all those in favor or massive deforestation
Hurray for Potlatch and it's concerns about our National Forests and any
other place there are trees
Hurray of the Right to lifer's and there judgmental, murderous ways(in the
Name of God)
Hurray, Hurray, Hurray!!!!!!
My grandfather and many other ancestors of mine would be soooooooo proud to
see what you have done to the land that they work so hard to cultivate into
something good and decent. I am so glad that my family's blood sweat and
tears helped to pave the way for all of the new and wondrous ways of truly
wasting tax payers time and money that has come about from this, Oh so
gracious, group.
Thanks for the memories Grandpa and Grandma, but I can no longer stay in a
community that abuses it's people, animals, land, and whatever else they
can get there paws into. I will miss you both, but when I am in town I
will come to you grave and place a bit of beauty from Montana along side of
you both.
Best Wishes to All
