When you're right, what's there to change? Can you name even ONE statement
that's wrong????

Of course, compared to most other sports. Maybe snowboarding is newer?

You "could". But you DON'T! Why are you wasting our time?

Are any of them more

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
