These poor folks are not to blame anyway. It's our government policy makers who are at fault. Your comments about the movie industry explain a lot. I'm beginning to understand it better through PMs with SmoothSail on another matter. It reminds me of a third hand story about a fellow who worked for the same agency I did (USFS), and moonlighted in Billings when they were filming Little Big Man. He was Hoffman's driver. Dropped him off where ever he wanted, waited, took him home and so forth. Finally Hoffman says "Why don't you go down and buy some fishing equipment for yourself? Get some rods and reels and go fishing." "Oh, I couldn't do that. That wouldn't be right." (USFS employees of that era were tight as drums and never deviated from policy.) "No no! Go ahead. The studio's got lots of money. Buy yourself some new boots too."
