Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.
Er, I'm not sure that is a stand anybody wants to take. That implies that any advocacy group or religion with paid leaders is suspect.
I crave the flesh of the sacred cow
charred and dripping fat
I love the sight of a baby lamb
Spinning on the rack
I say, Burn!!
Burn!!
Burn, Baby, Burn!!
My guitar player likes to knaw the bone
and suck the marrow out
He plays a Marshall stack twenty feet tall
and grills a porterhouse
The feds did their best to stop all economic activity out here in the bush. Stopped gold dredging, Stopped commercial fishing, restricted hunting, no logging, and did their best to get everyone they could on welfare; rather than having people eke out an honest existence working. Clinton expanded it all. Use to be people cut firewood, trapped, and seemed to make ends meet in this hungry country. Today, half the white people are on quest cards, welfare, or social security disability; (the toe dough). They sit and watch the dish rather than cut their own firewood or than being productive. The other 50% may have one of the few govt jobs (teacher ect) or are retired, or have small business. The natives, not greedy and don't require much and govt gives them enough to get by and keep them happy.
Sad thing is that the community goes down the drain when this occurs.
Have more respect for the guy that dredges in the summer in one of the few areas still permitted and traps all winter. Too many sit back and have 8-9 kids on welfare.
Trapping is one of the last income sources still available that is permitted by feds out here that don't choose welfare.

I dunno, I guess it was the part about Girl Scouts trapping beavers that stopped me in my tracks... |
Hmmm... As a Latter-day Saint, I can buy into this premise. For those who are not aware, LDS do not have a paid ministry.
More power to you. Doing work without pay is noble. But does receiving pay invalidate one's mission? Is the Pope just in it for personal gain? Is the president of the NRA just doing it to make a salary? Even if you disagree with these organizations, I think we can all agree that the senior, paid staff are fully committed to their missions and are not simply motivated by cash.
