|    Boycott Gettysburg    |

      From: fake_addy_due_to_spammers@nowhere.com              We loved Gettysburg: got married there, considered moving there, took dozens       of week-long trips, spent many thousands of dollars there, but those days       are over thanks to park superintendent John Latschar. He's ruining the       battlefield while calling it restoration. Desecration is more descriptive.       We decided if we spent another dime we'd be supporting the destruction.       Trees are being ripped out by the acre. The deer have been slaughtered.       Visiting the battlefield on a Nov. evening is an experience everyone should       be able to enjoy, but he shortened the hours so you'll be ticketed and       labeled criminals. He likes saying, "The time for comment was during the       planning, not now." Well, Bozo, the public DID and continues to comment, but       you ignore them for your self-centered agenda. Tens of 1000s have voiced       their concern, but you act as though the battlefield is your own private       domain. It belongs to the taxpayers, not an arrogant government appointed       bureaucrat. Ghost hunters have been turned away in droves. Not only is the       town losing a fortune toward the local economy, the park is losing thousands       of watchful eyes from some of the most respectful visitors. Those with evil       intent will always gain access at night as was proven by the recent       vandalism, closing the park merely keeps honest folks out. John Latschar       has, in affect, given vandals free rein. Attendance is lagging. He blames       everything except his own bumbling policies. He moans about never having       enough money, yet continues wasting funds on mindnumbingly senseless       projects that divide the townspeople and drives others away. It's typical       government ineptness. Looks like John Latschar sits around dreaming up new       ways to piss people off. If he's not shooting the wildlife, cutting down       100s of acres of trees, or screwing up direction of traffic, he'll come up       with some other dumbass plan. Will John Latschar donate the lost revenue       from his own pocket? LOL! Chances are he'll eventually move on to another       location leaving his mess and debts behind for someone else, much as he did       in the past. The only thing worse than allowing John Latschar to inflict so       much damage to such hallowed ground is--too few have the stones to do       anything about it. Talk is cheap, holding back spending speaks volumes.       We're doing our part. Good bye Gettysburg. You were our favorite place on       Earth until John Latschar raped you. Now you're just a memory. What a pity.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
