agreed, and when our more conservative brethren have had enough then some serious ass kicking will ensue. there is no convincing them to move more quickly than they are willing to, But thease men are good Americans. I trust that if it comes to our core rights (like someone telling them they can't have a gun) they will rise up and knock the shit out of the apropriete people it is not republican against democrat... the fight will be the people vs. who ever thought they were going to take over.
I will wait and watch
What i mean is the if something major were realy to happen, like some one viloently trying to take over the US or something like that, that you better hope and pray that there are men like Adamson, Cavey, Trask GregW and even Ryland more to do the killin' cuase us hippy folks don't have or know how to shoot guns and demonstrating would only get us killed. When it comes down to it we are all Americans... weather we agree on every concept or not.
the great thing about climbing is that it can be to each person what they need it to be... religion, hobby, life style, pass time, philosophy, whatever.
(oh, and AMEN! )
Dearest Santa,
I have tried so hard to be a good girl this year. There are just a few things that I would like. Perhaps I can speak to you in person about this???

no one wants to meet me in salem any way so no worries. although I think I can drive to the kendy school and I have a place to sleep that I can walk to from there if you alll ever want to do a pdx pub club on a friday
NOPE I am working my gym leading so I can work on my sport leading so that maybe just maybe I am not totaly gripped next time I try to lead some relativly unclimbed by me 5.6 trad climb. (sigh)
then I will
it realy is too bad eugene is so far from portland
Jim, thank you for the clerification. I appriciate the link to the document as well although realy I think I only read about 1/2 of it. It was verry ummm well dry Although i did read the geology and cultural parts wich were verry interesting to me.
IMO from what I read, I think that the only real solution is for the native peoples to go on NOT LOOKING at cave rock and then when I climb it, it will not be offensive to them.
I know that the issue is very complex and that it is verry heated emotionaly on all sides. I hope with all my heart that there is some kind of compramise on this issue.
I have still not had time to read the document... but I will.
from reading your posts jim I am a bit confused...Is Cave Rock on public land, or is this on land that is part of a reservation? As far as i understand the law, unless the government chosses to grant the land to the native people it is under u.s. law, and our nations laws must then be followed, right?
I downloaded that document, thank you
are you insinuating that because I am a woman I am more likely to pave a floor or move a rock for safety??? because I primarily climb trad, and that kind of thing does not jive with my personal climbing ethic
