Show THE ZEPHYR/ AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2004 ? Even if Osama Bin Laden himself was on the bus ? But you have to make sacrifices, right ? When there’s a War On? Here’s a question, about the War on Terror which Britain and America are supposedly fighting together. How will we know when we've won ? Usually you know you’ve won a war wien you march into the enemy’s ope and their leader signs a surrender agreement. That is never going to happen. Capturing Osama wouldn’t end it. The great thing about the War on Terror, from the point of view of those who stand to gain from it, is that it can go on forever. The shadow of 9/11 is being used, by government and media, to keep people living in fear. A gen is growing up seeing civil rights that their paren took for granted being stripped away. Being taught that the whole Arab world is against them and hates everything America stands for. Being taught to live in fear of a potential biological or chemical attack just around the corner. What kind of people are they going to grow up to be ? What kind of a world are they going to make ? A cage is a nice, safe place to be. Just don’t forget where you put the key.

Bos MORE THANKS TO JENNIFER SPEERS Hi Jim and congratulations on the 15" anniversary of the Zephyr! For over a decade we traveled to the canyon De for two weeks each fall (and sometimes spring, too) — to camp, to ee to just be there! Each year it got more developed, more crowded, more roads paved. We stayed away, but never lost our fascination/obsession for that incredible country! After being away for many years, were returned in 2000. We thought that we were prepared for the development and the crowds, but it was worse than we imagined. As we Ls the Dewey ANOTHER OPPONENT OF FEE DEMO Dear Mr. Stiles, I moved to Salt Lake last summer, after living in Seattle, Colorado, and Maine. I read a lot and have read numerous publications in all of the states named above. Although the Zephyr is a bi-monthly publication, I would put it in the category of free Weekly. And in that category, yours is, hands-down, the best I have read (I might add, I prefer weeklies to dailies). It's probably a mix of the caricatures and your opinion pieces. Many opinion based newspapers can be downright boring but yours is not. I'm a liberal democrat environmentalist and after reading your paper for the past year, I have to say my opinions about ranchers and recreationalists have changed. Thank you for that perspective. I always enjoy reading Take it or Leave it and find your commentary uniquely unusual. But I digress. I wanted to thank you mostly for the June/July 2004 Fee Demo Issue. For awhile now I have been extremely irritated to arrive at my destination on Forest Service Land and have to pay a fee, in some cases just to park (Snoqualmie NF in WA). I never did pay that parking fee. I was lucky enough to camp and hike for free last weekend in Ashley NF at Moon Lake. But, overall the fees are everywhere. AHHHH! Anyway, thank you for devoting so much space to this issue. I am glad to see there are others out there who despise this practice. am also glad to see that there are some positive developments, a la Senate Bill 1107. Regards, Dan Wagner Salt Lake City, UT KATE MacLEOD & the PANCAKES Bridge, we were horrified, shocked, angry, disgusted to see the evelopment that was underway. Earlier this year, we learned that it was GONE! A victory that was almost hard to believe! We had only heard that “someone” had purchased it and returned it (as near as possible) to its pre-development state. We were so glad to see that the “rest of the story” was included on your Top Ten list! We may live in Kansas, but our hearts are in the desert. Hope you enjoy the attached hoto——one of our favorite views! Thanks for all you and others do to protect the wild places!
