The other day I saw how the plastic fencing at the Cuyahoga Valley Ohio and Erie Canal bike path had been breached and people were still riding the trail, great site.

There has never been an autumn stretch as beautiful as this has been for enjoying hiking and cycling along that trail. I would hope the people keep using the trail. It's certainly impossible to close off the whole canal route.

The symbolism of what Obama is doing is powerful. That path along the Cuyahoga River was used by escaped slaves who wanted to get to Canada across Lake Erie. Most couldn't get across so that east side of Cleveland got the starts of its massive black population. That's right folks. Obama is trying to close the very trail that meant freedom from slavery for so many blacks!

The screaming from the black community is deafingly....nonexistant.
