SEA LICE, SALMON - CANADA (BRITISH COLUMBIA)

Again I will attempt to steer this thread off coarse by challenging the Mom & Pop versus the big box stuff mentioned earlier.
I use to be pro mom & Pop but not any more and here's why. When I go to a small business I expect something, whether it be service, personality or whatever. These days a LOT of the small business flavor has been lost and the people running the shops offer up attitude and a lethargic, I don,t care if you buy it or not mentality.
On the other hand, when going to say Sportsmans Warehouse, you don't go there with expectations, you go there to get a product. Then you start thinking about how MUCH variety you have, how LITTLE you paid for your product etc. Then you realise that when the little guy closes the doors his employees all go to work at the box store so the lost job thing is a fallacy too.
America is a different place today than in 1950 and I personally believe a lot of the changes (not all) we've seen have been good changes.
OK now you can continue the lice banter, or was that log banter, or was that government banter. Any way banter away.

If you still don't understand, maybe someone else can do a better job of explaining it, because apparently I am not able to.

Dave of course I understand. I think you krrp missing your own post about who is actually paying the money to the in dependents. Who paid for the oroginal survey and who owns the rights to have the property logged etc.You seem stuck on the guy that gets a few nucks to cut a tree down.

Well that pretty much says it all. I have nothing to add. It however helps me understand why the world is the way it is. Nothing like putting the majority of the wealth in the hands of a few.

Alasgun...my last post was adressed to you. I was mocking your comment on your anti small businesses and your pro corporate stand. Then i thought perhaps you wouldn't get it like a few others. So I thought maybe I'd just tell you that I think you are very misguided individual when it comes to small business and large corporations. Most small business people work twice as hard to keep your business. The only time I have seen a small business person be rude or lethargic is when a jerk comes through the door.

Jay, be careful criticizing Dan'l Boone. One of my all time favorite quotes is from him. When asked if he'd ever been lost in the woods he said (more or less) "I've never been lost. But I have been a might bewildered a time or two".

Wouldn't criticize my favorite person in the history of our nations western movement, but I would use him as an example of how a single persons actions however noble can have consequences resulting in the destruction of what he loves. At the time He thought it was an endless west and wouldn't have believed it possible to be pretty much settled in less than 70 years from his old age.

His life story was one of the very first books I read as a very young boy and I believe one of the main reasons I developed my interest in exploring the wilderness, which I started doing by myself on a regular basis when only about eight years old. Since that first book I have read many more on him and the time and places he lived. The one I mentioned is the latest and in my opinion the best researched and written of them all.

East of the Missouri it was Daniel Boone west of it is a person much less known but almost his equal and that person was Joesph Walker.

This is my wilderness trivia contribution to this thread that I don't feel bad about including being as this thread has wondered just about as much as Dan'l himself.

For those Brats who care for Pacific Salmon, there is a good tribute to Alexandra Morton in today's issue of The Tyee (http://thetyee.ca/News/2012/08/31/Alexa ... ign=310812).
Not only that, she seems to own a C-Dory if that is her boat in the picture. The Cohen Commission report is on the horizon; let's hope the Harper Government neo-cons do the right thing on this and not kow-tow to their Corporate Puppet Masters and Industrial Salmon!
