No horse either, but always nice too hear the "locals" side in debates like this ;)
Sad thing is, a significant number of people will buy into the " Avatar" comparison, just like many do with the PETA propaganda.

My local news out of Detroit, characterizes most anyone who lives in the rural Northern areas as gun toting/ environment destroying country bumpkins :o  Unfit to judge what is best for them. Good too see a well spoken, knowledgeable rebuttal to this mentality ;)
