[QUOTE="Horus, post: 1490920, member: 17219"] Very good. The next step now is damage. How do the standards we are held to by the DNR and FS compare to those of the logging and mining industries? One of the best comparisons I can make is the comparison between a 4X4 trail through the woods and a freeway or housing development. The damage a hiking trail causes to the environment may be marginally less than that of a 4X4 trail but add up the thousands of miles of hiking trails in the state and you have a case for making hiking a criminal offense. We cause damage to the environment, yes. Taken as a whole our footprint falls far short of the environmental haterape conducted by loggers, miners and hikers with the DNR and FS's blessing. Next time you are at Evans note the destruction right behind the campground. Nothing at Reiter could even begin to compare to what a logging skidder does to Bambi's home. Next time you see a logging truck going down the highway next to you note the condition of the trees it is hauling. No amount of 4X4 damage comes close to the damage those resources experience by the time they are loaded up and leaving the forest. When you compare the damage we create pursuing life, liberty and happiness to the damage DNR creates with logging contracts one fact is made very clear. ORV users are being forced into the back of the bus because of who we are as people. Environmentalism is only a word being used by the DNR and FS as a cover for facism. Mr Churchhill is dead right. Because we are voluntarily destroying the achievements of our past now, we are signing off our future. [/QUOTE]
