Every year after the Expo we go through this period of SFW bashing and internet quarreling. True to form, we've had a go at again this year. We've discussed the various point of concerns to the degree that we are starting repeating the same arguments we made last year and even last week. We've actually been quite respectful this year, for the most part. I've appreciated that. Thank you.
I'd like to conclude my remarks on the subject for now, with a final comment.
Someone once said, SFW leadership," have hoodwinked your Legislature" , "has hoodwinked you and your Dad, Birdman, and others into doing all the great work you do", "see naive people such as yourself doing all the great work", and, over the course of many months made and/or inferred that the people of Utah are of lesser intelligence, easily fooled, etc. etc., suggesting that Utah's Attorney's General, State Tax Commission, our recent Governors, are also either part of the grand scheme or lack the intelligence to comprehend what SFW leadership is doing, right under their scrutinizing eyes.
Lord knows these Utah political leaders have been notified ad nauseam by the press, hostile sportsmen, anti-hunters, non-consumptive Federal land users, over SFW behaviors and methods It's not that Utah's State wide decision makers have not heard from those distrusting members of our communities. Many of our best businessmen have donated millions to SFW. My hell, the son, of one of the most respected and wealthiest business that has ever been grown in Utah and helped the entire world look for a cure for cancer, was the Governor of Utah that started the Expo and the 200 incentive tags to draw people into Salt Lake City. Other seemingly, intelligent business men and women, not just Utah, but throughout the country have donated to SFW. I agree with the assessment that has been made, I'm far from the brightest sportsman in the country, however two universities have awarded me a minor in zoology, a minor in botany, a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration, and a Masters Degree in Instructional Technology, somebody must think I have some cognitive skills. I just can not imagine that we in Utah are all so stupid, so naive, or so easily hoodwinked as some have claimed and so regularly repeat. I just get a syntax error when I try to get my head around that.
So, I'm going to bow out for a while on the SFW discussions and leave you to it. For those that wish to know my opinions, I'd refer you to the MM archives, I've written volumes there, for anyone that cares to read why. Once again, I would invite all sportsmen to going with us in or quest to preserve and propagate the great outdoor hunting and fishing lifestyle.
Birdman, get that boat serviced, with this weather turning ice into water your going to start teaching me how to hook'em and cook'em on the Strawberry!
