Your remark about the Pacific Coast Trail has nothing to do with either
this thread or my views.

I did not say this, nor did I remark that kayakers and rafters have no
rights to recreational use of rivers.  However certain whitewater
organizations have supported, during public hearings, in the
legislature, and in their newsletters, the idea that their recreational
calling is so high that no one else, including cities with greater
populations than the entire number of rafters and kayakers in the U.S.,
has a right to particular stretches of water, including waters not
protected under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers act.  It is their
right to express such views.  It is my right to classify such views as
elitist.

 Since you can not tell us what dams you have worked on I guess

You have no basis for such assumptions.

I have found that the U.S. Military, and in particular the Corps of
Engineers, are honorable organizations that follow the letter and
spirit of the law.
