this year's trip to Sylvania Wilderness (Upper MI) included seeing a
couple
of moter boats for the first time thanks to a conservative judge's
ruling...got me to vote Dems across the board for the first time...I hate
what's happening!

Same here... had to dodge powerboats whilst canoeing across crossing Crooked
Lake. What scares me more than Bush getting re-elected is that it looks
like the country in general has swung even further to the right. It's one
thing if the president doesn't give a **** about the environment; it's
something altogether different (and *much* worse) when the president AND the
electorate don't care.
