I know that for myself, I have always considered Katrina to be a good person who has truly done her best to inform the rest of us about things that have happened in the area of the Bowen Ranch which is the main area of access to DCHS. Even though I have not experienced these things firsthand I do recognize that these things may very well have happened. The reasons and the way things happend is where the confusion usually begins. She has spent an enormous amout of her personal time to gather statements, go to meetings, see officials etc to bring together as much proof as possible to support her observations that aggressive and threatening acts have occured to certain individuals when they were attempting to access the springs. She's not the kind of person that would just go out there and make all of this up. I feel she has become involved in this, because of her interest in looking out for the saftey of the affected people, and all of it has gone in directions that she was not intending at the start. She has not threatened anyone with aggressive acts and as far as I can see she has been conducting herself within the bounds of the law. Many people who frequent the springs will not wish to become involved in these contentious issues about Castro and access confrontations. I think that Katrina and Rick have provided a means for others to find out about these issues, and as long as all people are allowed to speak thier mind then I have no problem with the forum or kantrina's site. If aggressive acts have occured and are continueing to occur in the Bowen Ranch area then I for one appreciate having a means to keep abreast of these things for the consideration of the saftey of myself and my family. Some people express that the forum is one side but as far as I can see opposing veiw points have an equal opportunity to share thier side of things so if people with a differant take are not speaking their mind, you can't blame Rick or Katrina. Katrina, I was hoping you'd come along to speak your mind on the issues in the post above. Impartial, I think that your imput is important too. I think that all of this discussion helps in some way to increase the level of understanding of all of these concerns we are speaking of. Now, I think its time for a relaxing soak. We can still do that, can't we :-)
