Donovan Arnold stated:

"I think their are better ways of going against Christ Church that are more
effective. I would do what we did. We raised money by taking pledges of
members of the community for every mile that the Aryan Nations marched
downtown. We than used the money to advance Human Rights in the area. One
year alone we made $45,000. "

You used the word "I" way too many times in this statement, Mr. Arnold,
unless you are Tony Stewart of the Kootenai County Task Force on Human
Relations.  You see, I know Tony Stewart.  I remember when Tony first had
the idea of collecting money from pledges for each mile marched during the
Aryan Nations Parade a few years back.  At least be honest with us, Mr.
Arnold.

You claim that you lived here in Moscow for all but eight years of your
life.  Was this before you were a Navy dependent?  Before you lived in
Hayden Lake?  After you lived in Hayden Lake?  Again . . . At least be
honest with us, Mr. Arnold.

As far as our (Not On The Palouse, Not Ever) goal is concerned, it is
conspicuously posted near the top of the main page.  It says:

"Not on the Palouse, Not Ever is dedicated to documenting and exposing local
ties to any organizations that preach racism, intolerance, or urge a
theocratic form of government."

If you are going to critique our website, at least have the decency to read
it.

Believe me, Mr. Arnold.  We are as committed to our goals as you are to your
religious convictions.

Take care,
