It could be IF positions were filled by the most qualified and not the ones with the most $$$.

and most of us are pretty sure that that isn't gonna happen. seems like money, power and greed in politics is the "norm" in Salem anymore.....and probably across the entire country as far as that goes.

Guys, I agree but keep the political stuff out of this forum and where it belongs.

Wait you don't like our State of Confusion?

I agree Kevin. I think the mods gave us a lot of slack in this thread. It's easy to get drawn in, especially when good ideas are presented...but...you know...

Politics? WHAT politics? We're just making sure that the members on here from Oregon are all staying "Well Informed" on the state of the state is all.

IMO it's pretty dam tough to talk much about mining these days, given the current state of affairs, without it touching politics. Agreed that the mods here are lenient when it comes to these matters.

However IMO, TN would be well served to at least have some section(s) devoted to land use rights groups like PLP. Even if only to serve as a platform for news/announcements/accomplishments and donation opportunities, etc. As has been said 1k times already, open forum is no place to discuss legal strategy and to some extent political stratigey, so probably short of that.

Taking it a step further. If I owned a site like TN, I would consider this kind of thing a 'vertical integration' to the business plan. .02/

-Political discussions can summon some pretty strong emotions. I saw this get quickly out of hand on another forum years ago. Easy to see the merits of steering clear of this scenario from a forum owners/moderators perspective.

I worry when someone gets into a position like this without the people voting them into it. Too many opportunities for them to really do some damage before the people have a chance to vote for who they really want in that position.

You are right. Our only chance is she will get lost on the way to work...as she only turns left!

Sounds like she must drive for NASCAR... (If only we could get a down home "good ol boy" that like mining in office!)
