Katrina,
Just a question....
Do you have a life besides cutting and pasting old messages from this forum and quoting old legal documents? I am just wondering. So are we supposed to gather that you are the defender of the public good in the Deep Creek area and that is your sole purpose. Further, that you have no other intentions, (such as taking over the Bowen Ranch for yourself). Honey, I am sorry, but people do not generaly exert such effort as you have in this matter simply to protect innocent hot springers. There is more to this, any one with some life experience behind thier belt can see.
You know, going back to college sounds like a great idea. There you can finese your talents and focus your great energy into something, well, something a little more productive. How about being a lawyer yourself? Or study Natural Resources Planning, or Environmental Impact Reports. Just an idea.
