Why I Have Deleted Posts and Threads

[Edwina's Secretary]

I was asked a question about firearms and I answered it and I stand by my statement about firearms training.

Do your self a favor and just delete this thread or post where I said everyone should on a firearm. I can take it if I typed it.

Not again!!! Okay...I'll ask Karen if she can bring up the thread you started about everyone should have a gun.

Deja vous all over again. Like the time you insisted I said Truman was responsible for the national parks.

But let's let her sleep right now.

Find it yourself, I didnt delete the thread. I still think that even you should have firearm safety training.

I admitted I was wrong on that didnt I? I still would like to see the rest of the pics from that trip.

ETA: Here is the thread ES is talking about, Link.

Probably a bad title for the thread but the idea is still sound.

Maybe Im wrong but I thought that the National Park System started over a hundred years ago with Theodore Roosevelt who was quite an outdoorsman and conversavationist , especially for those times.
In fact the Teddy Bear was named after a Bear Cub that he spared during a hunting trip.
I wish we could get along together as well as Our Cats and dogs do.

Well, not quite.
Teddy came along a little bit AFTER the National Parks were first created.

See this write-up from the National Park Service web site >>>

"The national park concept is generally credited to the artist George Catlin.
On a trip to the Dakotas in 1832, he worried about the impact of America's westward expansion
on Indian civilization, wildlife, and wilderness. They might be preserved, he wrote,
'By some great protecting policy of government... in a magnificent park....
A nation's park, containing man and beast, in all the wild and freshness of their nature's beauty.'

Catlin's vision was partly realized in 1864, when Congress donated Yosemite Valley to California
for preservation as a state park. Eight years later, in 1872, Congress reserved the spectacular
Yellowstone country in the Wyoming and Montana territories
'as a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.'
With no state government there yet to receive and manage it, Yellowstone remained
in the custody of the U.S. Department of the Interior as a national park ÷
the world's first area so designated."

So ... George did it!

There really was no need to bump this thread or to bring up the NPS topic.

Dogs and cats may not always get along but they can learn to respect each other.

I have a Senior Lifetime Pass. Cost me $10, and I can visit any of the National Parks. Wish I could say we'd seen more of them. Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula is gorgeous, and Petersburg National Battlefield and Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia are both small but very interesting. There are two in my home state of Rhode Island - Tuoro Synagogue in Newport, and Roger Williams in Providence.

The OP brought up her deleted NPS thread in Post #56, a thread she admitted was political in nature and was why it was posted in the DH.

I have said a number of times now, and Ill repeat myself, I would love to see the rest of the pics from her trip to the NP.
