db...that view might hold some water if I could have heard the guy say it.  Have you read any of his stuff addressing the issue of him fighting for the BWCA whilst making a living (and I've been told it was a good one) off the area?  I'd like to read it if available.

Anyway...my point in illustrating his case....a lead fighter for a place we all love, used the area for personal profit, in a manner that was in direct opposition to his later claims.  So to me there is no "right or wrong".  It's all about who has the most influence and Olson had quite abit.  Point-of-view changes too as his case highlights.  So right or wrong depends on your position in time also.
