"Democracy in the Bitterroot Forest is a sham
The emperor wears no clothes, and it is not a pretty sight. Arrogant, anti-democratic behavior by our government is rarely as nakedly apparent as it was at the supervisor's office of the Bitterroot National Forest in Hamilton recently.
Two fellow citizens and I, who are critics of the proposed Middle East Fork timber sale, were prevented from attending a press conference at the Bitterroot National Forest supervisor's office while reporters, TV crews, elected officials and a handful of other, selected, citizens were allowed in. We were asked to leave by Forest Service officials backed up by armed guards, one with an eye-catching flak jacket on. Only people who agree with the Middle East Fork project being highlighted at the press conference were allowed in. "

The largest wilderness complex in the lower 48. I would love to live in Missoula.
