[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 634772, member: 16301"] That is basically what I was trying to say above. By saying that we need to become their "friend" I am not saying that we need to accept or give into them, but to hear their arguments and figure out where they are coming from to discredit them. For example, they continually spout that public opinion is opposed to motorized use. We all know that is bull, just ask around. Just look at the Strategy meeting - there are like 4 greenies in a room of over 40 people and the other 36 are working to preserve and expand the moto trails. But we need to know where they get their information in order to discredit it. My thinking is, the more we know about their backgrounds, thinking, etc. the easier it is to fight them with the truth. I checked into the Kettle Range Conservation Group - KRCG and David Heflick one of their directors who is in these meetings. Big surprise here, he graduated from Pacific Lutheran College (a very expensive private Liberal Arts College) with a BA in Music Education. He and his wife live in far NE Washington with no electricity and they do folk music presentations for schools. He wrote a book on "How to Make Money Performing at Schools" and one called "The Greater Spokane and Palouse Region Back Roads Cycling Guide". If this is not the epitomy of an Environazi, I don't know what is. What is really sickening is they probably pay nothing in the taxes that are used to manage OUR public lands or fund our public schools but he's making money off of both. Not to worry, we will not budge an inch and we've already told the group that - we want our singletrack left alone. If they take it away, either by designating it non-moto or by widening it then we will be gone, no more involvement, no more help, no more concern of any kind for what happens to the place, it could go up in smoke for all we care. Boy could you imagine the economic impact on that area! [/QUOTE]
