WOW I can hardly read this thread. I consider myself a pretty tolerant person sometimes but when it comes to politics its very difficult to see my friends say things that I believe to be so wrong.
I love sledding but it is about 24th on my list of priorities somewhere between keeping my daughters in their dance classes and boating in the summertime. As a Father of 4 and a Husband my responsibility towards things that are really important leave my own wants and desires on the back burner when things get squeezed. I sled only because I have been fortunate enough to provide well for my family. I am now starting to feel the pinch of this economy which has been brought to us courtesy of years and years of liberal garbage politics. Notice I did not say Democrat or Republican, I said liberal. Too large of Government and taking from one class of people and giving to another that which they dont deserve.
a quote I read earlier this week:
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them,and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for,that, my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

I did not intend for this to get into an Obama discussion I just wondered how many of my Utah sledding peers were thinking about their future sledding season being in jeopardy as i am. As for Johnnyq I understand your desire to keep thing positive but this is a forum and if we cant talk about current situations then what can we talk about. I dont feel my post was negative nor do I feel that everything should be positive. Have you ever listened to Amanda on KSL in the morning? She is always overly positive and one of the most annoying people on the planet!
