  Whut moose?   

We was someplace out looking as the stars and they all commenced screaming "A Moose!" and I think I said "Wanna nother drink?"

So here is the responce I sent to the Bristol Herald Courrier. It were not easy hitting that send button:

As a former resident of the Tri-Cities area I was dishearted, and made angry by the Herald Courrier's and other media outlets decision to publish the names, addressed AND pictures of men recently arrested in Winged Deer Park and Buffalo Mountain Park.

While I certainly do not condone the behavior these men are ACCUSED of, I ask you, what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? You put them on public display, examine their lives, especially if there is some angle that puts them in contact with children. You practically invite trouble to their door and even show trouble who to look for. Luckily, it seems, the tax payers will be spared having to prosecute Jerry McCloud, he knew what was coming and took his life, according to your eager report. How many of these men may do the same thing now?

If there was a problem of sex going on in this park, could an increased police presence not been enough to discourage it? Apparently the preferred method of dealing with it is a hunting trip by local law enforcement and media, to collect and show off trophies.

While I again do not condone what they are accused of, I certainly do not condone their trial in a court of public opinion, with sentence left up to family, friends and employer.

             Can you imagine the hell the kids of those men will go through..If they have children.  The wife if they have one, will have to face at her place of employment...They will be on the pillory as well as the men.

Great reply, Tru, and I hope you get a response!

Okay what do I make of this? Well, Proulx and King are both from the Maritime/New England part of North America. I think they are both U.S. citizens, aside from that........

It was the trailer music.

That's a terrific letter, bud - well done.  I'll send them one too.

And I love The Brokeback Redemption video - It's been years since I watched Shawshank, and that's a whole new angle for me - I was sadly not very sensitive to M/M interactions preBBM.  It deserves another viewing, I think.

Give 'em hell, Truman!

I'll bet they never even give a thought to how it will affect other members of the accuseds' families.
