[QUOTE="Horus, post: 1490833, member: 17219"] Remember when we were kids in school? Our teachers used to tell us over and over why Russia sucked and America ruled. "In Russia" they'd say, " you have to go through road blocks to get from point A to B! You would be followed around by police officers as if they had already decided you are guilty and are merely waiting for you to commit a crime. You have to show correct paperwork to gt anywhere. A socialist police officer couldn't wait to find some reason to give you a financially crippling ticket. These are some of the reasons Russia sucks and America rules. Here in America we don't have these things because we are free." I remember those teacher's rants like they were yesterday. If only more people took them as seriously as I did in school. Today you cannot spend a weekend out in the Cle Elm district without tasting the essence of why Russia sucked (and failed.) In order for one to get from the OHV campground to the OHV trail one must drive through a road block set up by Rangers, just like in Russia. Your group is then shadowed all day by a Re-education and Enforcement officer in a Wrangler. After all, in America we are guilty until proven hiker. A year or so ago I was camping in Long Meadow and a Re-e & E officer came over to our site to brag up the fact that he issued a $4500 ticket to some single track guys who's fire was not yet 100% out. I sat there in my chair pondering what kind of sick lowlife would get off on such a thing. To actually be happy about doing something like that to a fellow American. Here is a guy who just wanted a break from actually benefitting society for a little time in the woods. Now, thanks to a useless social worker he will have to choose between food and clothes for his kids or not having a bench warrant issued against him. This year they are asking for $245,000 to do nothing but continue converting America into that land our teachers warned us about. This is only $60,000 shy of what the entire Eatonville Police force costs in it's entirety! Eatonville is a major population center. Naches is the middle of ****ing nowhere. 99.9982% of Washington residents don't even know it's there. Those who do are the most well armed, righteous doing and generally higher tax paying individuals. $245K just to have people out there capitalizing on the presence of real hard working Americans in the woods. I can't sit back and let them destroy everything every American soldier has fought to protect. Seasonal closures and the conversion of trails into roads through "tread work" are all new elements brought to us by these people. People who NEED no find problems with our areas in order to keep their "jobs". Above all there is one undeniable fact on the ground. Every time a trail is closed seasonally, every time a trail is flattened and coated with rock and every time an American has to feel his gut drop as he approaches a Stalinist road block on the 1901 road with larger tires and smaller bumpers, those who would see America replaced by Russia win. We can stop this advance of terror tactics on our recreational land but we must do so through elected officials. They must be made aware that voters are not going to put up with the Forest Service's Sharia Law bullshit anymore. We cannot fix this through local means. We must get up to the elected officials as they have something to lose by not listening. The strength of our voice is the only thing we have left anymore. [/QUOTE]
