Show Freedom Test? Editor: I see the right to Free Speech is being tested in Escalante, Utah. The Good Ole' Boys have formed that ancient, self-righteous human institution, the vigilante group to harass the local environmentalists! Sigh, it's the same old story, ignorance breeds violence. I wonder if the local "White Sheet" sales have gone up and when the election for local Grand Wizard is to be held? I hear Idi Amin might be available to run, but then I forgot he's a black man. Who could we find to lead these brave and mighty souls to persecute and vandalize their way to economic security regardless of the price to basic human rights? Too bad Hitler isn't around to teach these people a lesson or twolNow there was a guy who could really terrorize those who didn't agree with him! When will the poorly educated sheep such as those who vandalized the Weed residence recognize that the voice of people like Robert Weed is the dissenting note on which the United States of America was founded? Don't those fools remember a unique paper called the Bill of Rights? Perhaps it should be posted in the town square to remind those who tend to forget why the paper was written. I realize that most of the people who are in favor of the issues that S.U.W.A. (Southern Utah Wilderness Association) is opposed to are good people and do not condone the actions taken against the Weeds. However I would feel remiss In consciousness if I did not mention the places the Weeds, Johnsons, and Kincades are trying to protect are getting smaller and smaller in relationship to the number of people on the planet. Please remember that some acts are irrevocable and will affect the quality of life for centuries to come. You have heard this all before but think carefully before you trade what is left of Unspoiled Planet for a piece of Golden Calf offered you by the Corporations at a dollar a bite.
