This Activist Loves Oregon More Than He

We Want You To Visit Our State Of Excitement Often. Come Again And Again. But For Heaven's Sake, Don't Move Here To Live. Or If You Do Have To Move In To Live, Don't Tell Any Of Your Neighbors Where You Are Going.

The Interests Of Oregon For Today And In The Future Must Be Protected From The Grasping Wastrels Of The Land. We Must Respect Another Truism - That Unlimited And Unregulated Growth, Leads Inexorably To A Lowered Quality Of Life.

Quality Of Life Is The Sum Total Of The Fairness Of Our Tax Structure; The Caliber Of Our Homes; The Cleanliness Of Our Air And Water; And The Provision Of Affirmative Assistance To Those Who Cannot Assist Themselves. True Quality Is Absent If We Allow Social Suffering To Abide In An Otherwise Pristine Environment.

If The Salmon And Steelhead Are Running, Then As Far As I Am Concerned, God Knows That All Is Well In His Worldthe Health Of The Environment Is Good If The Salmon And Steelhead Are Around. It Is That Simple.

I Am Just...wondering, Where Is The Glow Of Yesteryear? I'm Wondering Where The Heroes Went. Gosh, I Don't Know How Long Ago They Left. Heroes Are Not Giant Statues Framed Against A Red Sky. They Are People Who Say: This Is My Community, And It Is My Responsibility To Make It Better. Interweave All These Communities, And You Really Have An America That Is Back On Its Feet, A Comfortable Nation To Live In Again. I Really Think We're Gonna Have To Reassess What Constitutes A Hero.
