<<Good post Winzer, but what is a tree hugger ?>> Welcome to the good(but non-PC) fight. There have been many of the "tree-huggers" that openly claim they, and their actions, have resulted in the current gold price. I understand why there were some ranchers that beat up some tree huggers in WY but can't agree(yet?)with the actions. I wonder how the tree huggers would feel if we made the way they they earn a living & put food on their table non-PC, outside the law, or took money directly from their brokerage accounts?
