Sarah Palin, Alaskan Seperatists and . . .John MacPhee?  

Posted by Mr. Ellsworth Toohey

From Today's Salon article about AIP, Palin and domestic terrorism:

I hope we don't have to take human life, but if they go on tramping on our property rights, look out, we're ready to die."

This quote is from "Coming Into the Country," by John McPhee, who traipsed around Alaska's remote gold mining country with Vogler for his 1991 book. The violent-tempered secessionist vowed to McPhee that if any federal official tried to stop him from polluting Alaska's rivers with his earth-moving equipment, he would "run over him with a Cat and turn mosquitoes loose on him while he dies."



I know, different spelling, but wouldn't it be great if it was him. "I was in Alaska, selling ice to the Eskimo's, when I ran across this separatist."
