Viejo, I like " bring able " to not wear clothes too :-) Of course its a clear that I must have been asleep in class when it comes to grammer and spelling. I did get an A+ from MP for a new word I created. I feel so proud :-) Anyway I like the idea you suggested in the last part of your post above. All this talk on the forum is well and good but it will not change anything unless it is transformed into some kind of concrete actions which will make a differance. The authorities responsible for DCHS will be much more likely to work with a collection of concerned citizens who are cohesive and focused rather than seperate groups who are argueing and not getting along. Together and cooperating we will have the possibilities of more influence on the decisions made concerning DCHS. Much like the SPA orginization involved with Saline Valley. I too think, as you mentioned, that in such a meeting, the parties involved should work hard to keep the focus on the subject of things that can be done to help protect DCHS itself. In such a meeting we could define the problems and then work toward sensible and realistic policies that can really help things down there. I think this idea of a meeting makes alot of sense. The hardest thing would be keeping people focused strictly on the task of how to help the springs. It will be a challenge for all involved to not diverge off into unrelated tangents.
