Re: Cheney question.
My reason for not liking the Vice-President and addressing the fraternity is one of honor.
I heard Mr. Cheney during the campaign in 2000. He addressed a quetion from an FFA student. He talked of stewardship and his love for fly fishing. He discussed how important it is for the young to learn from adults to take care of resourses for the future. The students were impressed as were the adults in the audience. Once elected, his actions made a mockery of his answer. You have to live up to your stated philosphy. As a politican, that has been very difficult for Mr. Cheney.

If he addresses the Fly Fishing community, which Cheney would be talking? How could the audience trust him and what he says? Why go through the exercise?

Hi Gary,

Thanks for commenting. I like your site as well, visit daily.

I’ve asked around about Cheney and see a lot of hate, with vastly exaggerated differences. Oh well, back to tying flies.

It must be long apparent that many FFer’s cannot separate out their hatred for ol’ W and Darth Cheney and their obsessive love for their finned daydreams. They appear to go together because ranters like Ted Williams carry the relentless prop message. There is little balanced commentary on any issue. It is all or nothing. The only saving grace is O will save Pebble Mine…(???) Yes, abuses happen and the habitat must be protected…but when I hear Global and Community and ‘mights’ ‘maybe’s’ and ‘could’s’ I glaze over…I actually have no great love for Cheney. He was and is, his own worst enemy. He should be more eloquent like his wife. Then perhaps we would know more about his origins and love of nature. Hard to tell by his public persona and of course the rants of his detractors. The shout down of the righteous will keep him out. Love your site!!!
