BTW - I have more faith that Bigfoot exists than I have faith in WDFW. :twocents:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Faith in the existence of Bigfoot?
Faith in the existence of the WDFW?

That's a tough choice.  :chuckle:

:yeah: :yeah:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

its about right 2% of the board weighed in, this is pretty much what I guessed it would be.  This is also the reason we are where we are in this state if you figure across the board maybe 2% of the people in Washington are making decisions for the state, leaves 98% unrepresented.

Sadly, your are right and my math match's your, right around 2%. If you don't vote, wether here or general elections, how can you bitch?

Thing is though I've noticed the vast majority of members are basically in-active. There are VERY FEW "regulars".

now take that observation and apply it to all politics across the board, this is the country we live in very few believe they need to be involved thats what politicians and lawyers, and lobbyists are for. And because they have been left in charge they have slowly made everything so complicated the average person has problems unraveling any of it.  I was reading something the other day that suggested the average person commits up to three felonies a year and doesn't even know they are.  That was an America wide discussion and it would not surprise me to be honest.  I see misdemeanors daily here in campus housing when I mention the no guns ok most get that but when I mention also no knives of a certain size(think buck knife) no air soft, bb guns, pellet guns, no bows and arrows, no incense and no candles all of these are in the same section of rules, part of which is covered by a WAC.  Watched two guys shoot a can last night in the yard with a pellet gun, I know people who practice with their bows, most when told say how can they make you give your guns to the cops isnt that a violation of the 2nd amendment?  :dunno:  People literally have no clue what is going on and are now too busy just getting by.  I read a paragraph in my history book this morning that could be written today if we are going where that one went we are in for a world of hurt.

Well, it sure looks like this thread has run its course.

You estimate 2% of the people weighed in with votes? And you expect someone to stick up for you when you don't stick up for yourselves?

It is the Commission members that I have no confidence in but that isn't one of the choices.

Did you vote?

I think you may be reading more than is there.
Nothing tricky about it, IMHO

Just saying, I wonder how many people agree with the poll and clicked yes, then noticed they wanted the explenation behind nay.
