And the beat goes on

I attended the big meeting Tuesday in Bayview. Funny, it must have been a different one than Mr. Brooks, Rich Lander's spy...At the meeting that I attended, there were about 130 people squished into a room meant for 40. Rich Landers, for you folks that are unaware, is the leftist,elitist,Outdoor Editor for the Spokesman-Review.

While the vast majority was opposed to the Shooting Range, they were quiet, well mannered, and didn't interrupt the Fish & Game speaker, or for that matter, any speaker. Only once, when the speaker suggested that his proof of support was a caller from Laclede, did the audience, roar with disdain and laughter.

According to Mr. Brooks, we were an undisciplined rabble, led astray by a small number of activists. Yes Mr. Brooks, we do have a small number of activists. They do not, however, have the power, or the influence to sway a whole community. To claim that, is a sarcastic, simplistic way of opposition...Simply discredit those you disagree with...

Mr. Brooks, you undoubtedly have studied politics at your masters knee...

While there are good people on both sides of this issue, we don't need put-down artists among them...Rich...Crawl back into your hole, please...
