Just wait until the Chinese repossess all of our public land which this country has been using for security for borrowing billions from them.[:@]

That is what is scary. When we go under (thanks to Obama), and China wants its loans paid, how do our kids pay the debt???

Wow, they want to make a park out of Mt. Saint Helens? That is just WRONG! [:@]

I was stationed in Petaluma, CA (US Coast Guard Yeoman school) back in 1980 when Mt. Saint Helens blew. Even from CA, you could look north/northeast and see this massive haze in the atmosphere.

Keep Mount St. Helens Out of the National Park System Posted March 5th, 2009

The economic study, prepared for the Mount St. Helens Advisory Committee by the Environmental Law Clinic at the
University of Washington, said, in part, that as a national park the mountain would be better funded and have a
higher national profile, thus attracting more visitors. BS BS

That's false. Can't ever happen.

[James B]

What ever you say. Do you think the Chinese have been taking our good looks as collateral? Time will tell but there is nothing that is impossible anymore.

Worked in LeGrande Oregon in 1980 when it went off doing a pipeline job .When we finished we went to push mud at St.Helens.That was one of the most desolate places you could ever see.
