[Vision2020] Idaho's Part-Time Patriots

[keely emerinemix]

I disagree, Chas.

Cases may grow cold, and bodies of Idaho's sons may never be accounted for.  
That's the tragedy.  Asking questions and expecting answers seems a more 
than reasonable response, though, and I'm puzzled by yours.

I don't think Tom "wasted postage," nor do I think his questions were just a 
unique form of displaying patriotism.  I think Tom asked legitimate -- and 
possibly unanswerable -- questions of the people who have been chosen to 
represent him in Congress and in the State Capitol.  That they haven't 
responded with clear information and intriguing leads is not surprising; 
that they haven't answered at all is disappointing, to say the least.

I'm sorry, Tom, but I wouldn't have responded, either.  We don't know
where Judge Joseph Crater is, and he disappeared within the United
States.  It is called a "cold case."  What do you expect Otter, Craig,
Crapo, Simpson, Sali, et al, to have done?  Should they have sent you
a placating letter filled with empty promises?  Indeed,  what was the
point of your wasted postage?  Presumably, you feel better for having
demonstrated patriotism, but did it serve any other purpose?
