You can use the lands all you want. I just don't want to pay to save you butt with more Federal Tax Dollars.

If you are in a town or county and something happens, then tax money has already been paid to take care of it.

My elitist point of view is that frigging spoiled babies, like you, always wants someone to pay their way. Your probably happy that ALgore invented the internet otherwise us mean capitalists wouldn't allow you to play on line.

I hear them calling you over at DU..Now take a deep breath and click your heals together and say I want to go home 3 times..

PS do you think the U of Colorado will take back Slick Rick...

Well, you know, I really don't like you as a person for xxx reason, and lets say you are an avid golfer, and you happen to be out on the golf course (i hate golfing, so darn boring) and you get struck by lightening (no clouds in the sky, happens) so I don't want my federal tax dollars saving you (just making a point here, I love you as a fellow conservative, just disagree with your premise).

You really need to take some friggin reading lessons, along with comprehension. I suppose my tax dollars went to pay for your public school education which is an obvious failure. READ WHAT I HAVE SAID REPEATEDLY!!!!!!!! I don't want you to pay for anything, but quit trying to stop people from enjoying what they do pay for. If they need to pay for rescue services after the fact, bill them.

I remember in that movie...Ben Hur? When the ship is sinking and the guys are coming up from the bottom deck with nothing but stubs where they pulled their hands or feet off to get out.

I never noticed that until this last time I saw it on PBS...wonder if it was edited out of the regular TV version?

And again, once you start losing an argument, you attack someone as being a liberal. That is unfortunate about conservatives like you. Can't debate intelligently, just sling accusations.

You may think I am dense, but at least I can read, who is doing your reading for you? And I am paying tax dollars for you to receive that public service?

I don't want my federal tax dollars saving you

That's the same way I feel about CPR. I wouldn't waste my time on you. Just saying.

Gee let me see if I can understand (another word for comprehend) your point of view..

1) You think that because you pay taxes that those taxes are to fund your personal hobbies, habits, and pleasures, instead of you funding them with your own money.

2) You would rather be required to pay an enormous sum of money after you get rescued than to pay a bonding fee (read: user fee) that goes into a pool of funds to rescue others as well, who partake in extreme hobbies.

3)You think I'm an elitist who wants to deprive you of some right you have to enjoy nature because my OVERLY stated position is personal, individual responsibility.

Did you by chance celebrate MAY DAY too? Figure that one out Einstein.

Hey I think I met you once..

My wife and I were ENJOYING the wonders of Whidbey Island one Sunday and on the way home we decided to take the ferry back to the mainland.

Well the line on Sunday afternoons was quite long (over a mile), so we decided to bypass the jam and pull into a small tavern to wait it out. Now as we were driving ahead this one person about midway down (that means half mile) had just decided not pull forward. The gap was rather large, at least 400 feet to the next car, so we pulled in as did quite a few others.

Later, as we were about to pull onto the ferry a WSP Trooper came up and asked if we had taken cuts in line.

Now I must ask, were you the tattle tail that day?

You keep proving over and over you are incapable of reading, I would fire the person you hire to assist you.

You would be more likely to be the tattle tail as you would feel some injustice in regards to how your tax dollars are being spent.

HAHAHAHA.... you assume I have a sister. I have to have a mother, of course, but she wouldn't waste time on an ingnoramus like you. Making an ass of yourself.
