You are right, a lot of money was spent and we did not win it. There were never any guarantees we would win but it was the best shot we had.
I am not grumpy, I am pissed off at all of the hindsight experts pointing fingers when they have no right. Hell, I am even willing to admit that all my effort and money spent to preserve this was wrong. All anyone has to do is present a better plan. I have asked 3x now and you wont touch it ...what is your better plan? The bottom line is, put up or shut up. sitting on the bench and bitching at the quarterback is fricken lame.
Do you have any idea what you are doing? Imagine for a minute that DM is reading your ignorant tirade and decides to fold up his tent and move the remains of his operation to Asia. This is really not that far fetched considering most of his money does NOT come from mining is Cali. Or maybe he decides the ungrateful herd of cats in the mining community are too much of a PITA and he simply decides to let all the claims lapse. What happens next? The most likely outcome is the tribes and liberals will pressure the BLM to remove the entire drainage from mineral entry or classify it as wild and scenic with no grandfathered claims. Wouldn't that be just great? Is that what you want?
Maybe the PLP will stop all legal actions and not spend another dime on attorneys to answer the lawsuits. Who is going to put up a fight...maybe YOU??? By your own description you are a broke duck miner that doesn't have much...sounds like there wont be much resistance from you.
The point here is you cant just shoot your mouth off everything everyone else is doing for you without having a fricken clue about what to do next.
I have given serious thought to the possibility that you are a liberal troll. Trying to stir up dissent and anger and make us more fragmented than we already are.
