Bloomberg

Bloomberg.com: Culture
I watched this documentary the other night and was much disturbed by the obvious hatred displayed by John Stokes.

And here's another link I found to some disturbing history in that area. (an old story)

Why Montana? I have been there one time and have only seen a small portion of the state. I drove in from Spokane one weekend, crossing the "handle" of Idaho and then about 75 miles into the state. What was disturbing to me was the fact that as soon as I had crossed the border, I entered a Superfund site; fenced off for miles by chain link fencing and warning signs that the lands beyond the fence were toxic. Mining abuse has taken a heavy toll in this state. And obviously the economy has suffered...which creates the climate that hate groups love to see.
