In my apparently warped way of thinking, jalcz's experience points out that there is a difference between HAVING the right, and DOING what's right. No one would argue that RL has the right to do as they please with their own land, but to show such a complete and utter lack of respect for someone might not qualify as evil, but it's close enough in my book.

It is so far out there on the "can you believe they said that?" limb that I would question it, except that I have heard the same thing from others. Those who remember the story of why BAJ stopped writing for Lake MArtin Living will remember that he printed something he had gotten from one of the higher ups, and it used language as condescending as jalcz describes. I'll never forget that letter because it showed RL blindness by saying that the plan was to "tear down all of the small cabins and fish camps" and replace them with "large expensive homes" and had the audacity to say that one of the reasons that they would tear down "several" houses and replace them with "one" is so that "MORE people could enjoy the lake." I always wanted to hear their reasoning behind that but in my dealing with RL I quickly learned that they rarely explain, they just do, and that it doesn't matter because any explanation they give rarely makes sense.
