Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 105997" data-attributes="member: 605">Plainsman makes it obvious he hates our "elected" Representatives. His hero's are naturalists, botanists and environmentalist like John Muir, John Burrows, Leupold and George Grinnell. So how did they get their start? Who funded them? Who paid for the studies? Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. It was the very money worshipers Plains claims to hate.This a very interesting read on people of influence, the making of America and world politics. Follow the money.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Averell_Harriman" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Averell_Harriman</a>During the summer of 1899, Harriman's father organized the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriman_Alaska_Expedition" target="_blank">Harriman Alaska Expedition</a>, a philanthropic-scientific survey of coastal <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska" target="_blank">Alaska</a> and Russia that attracted 25 of the leading scientific, naturalist, and artist luminaries of the day, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir" target="_blank">John Muir</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Burroughs" target="_blank">John Burroughs</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bird_Grinnell" target="_blank">George Bird Grinnell</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Hart_Merriam" target="_blank">C.

After graduating, he inherited the largest fortune in America and became Yale's youngest Crew coach.Again, it is an interesting read about people who influenced the outcome of where we are today. As for me, I think I'll stick with our elected State Representatives over persons who control everything from the top down.Plainsman calls the democrats perverts and the Republicans money worshipers. The world is not that simple.</blockquote>
