[RC] poll on equestrian land access-VOTE YES_PLEASE-NOW - Linda B. Merims
"Polls" like
this are meaningless. They aren't "polls" at all. If anything, they are
just measures of how large each faction's email network is.
Everybody
knows they are meaningless: the newspaper holding the "poll," and most
particularly the land managers making the decision (which evidently has
already been made and was favorable to equestrians).
The Shawnee
National Forest has been a bloodbath for years now between one particularly
militant group of hikers who are willing to use lawsuits against the Forest
Service as their chief weapon whenever it makes a decision for another
user group that they don't approve of.
Yeah, sure, I'll go to the page
and click the box, but I don't think it accomplishes anything
real.
