Westerners suck at stewardship of the land- they overgraze their own land and government land, they create huge toxic tailing piles- which over a hundred years later are still a huge problem, they rolled over and eliminated every culture between them and the coast in the Westward expansion- a particular favorite of mine is the shooting for sport of the California coastal Indians. They cross fenced the land and disrupted the migration of the buffalo.

I could just go on and on about the "noble" Westerners, but why bother?

Westerners have always been willing & able to fight, kill or die for the land handed down through generations!

Thank you. That was helpful. I can certainly understand why you aren't a Gore fan. But it doesn't explain why people would be inclined to "grease up the Winchester" if Gore were to win in a disputed election versus if he had won in a landslide. Any thoughts?

Conversely, do you think it would be appropriate for Gore partisans who are strongly pro-choice or green, for example, to "grease up their Winchesters" if Bush becomes President?
