To make sure everyone knows I should repost under a new subject:
In light of new openess and fresh starts: when I posted that first post a month ago I had just got done reading the DCHS Inc web site and I was just so offended and frustrated by the whole thing that I just chose a name at random: it happened to be Jona. My actual name is Ryan. Pleasure to meet you all, and yes I really do work for the government as a wilderness ranger. My academic background is in Natural Resourses Planning, Wilderness education and creative writing. I will from this time forward just use my name: Ryan, to post to this site. See ya.
