DU and others

Fabs,

For so many years I would not belong to DU for a couple of reasons. The money raised went out of the country. NONE was spent here. I know we need to protect nesting areas etc but the money was mostly spent in Canada. If I were a wheat farmer in prairie Canada ...I'd shoot anybody working for them. You outta see what ducks do to a cut wheat field. They windrow their wheat in many places so they can combine the wheat before snow flies. Anyway a few years ago they finally started spending money here in the US where the ducks stay 8 months of the year...so I decided to help support DU. They finally got the message that ducks need a place to live in the winter too. I support NRA also but despise their marketing strategy. Been a life member for years and they still send me invitations to join?? They still help to keep our rights to gun ownership so when I can I give more...but only when I choose to. Not when they think I should. If I were independently wealthy I would do more for both organizations. As far as PETA and the HSUS...how anyone can support such groups is...well I understand who those groups appeal to and I understand how they raise their money. Don't like it but the same people look at the hunting groups and think the same thing about us. We must be crazy!! However... I know they are!!! So I guess there are always going to be groups or entities or beliefs we don't agree with. Some are somewhat innocuous like ebay and companies that won't let you have a firearm in your car on their property but we just have to live with them I guess
