		<description>It continues to amaze me how uninformed people can speak out on subjects they know nothing about, never spent any time researching, much less talking to those that have.</description>

		<description>OK, I left one more note for our friends.

----------

OK, here&#039;s one more great idea.

1. Have one of those 50 cheap interns you keep around spend a day or so on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.texasbigfoot.com/&quot;&gt;Texas Bigfoot Research Center&lt;/a&gt; or Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. Spend a day on each; you&#039;ll need that at a minimum.

If your intern tells you after that that there isn&#039;t a shred of evidence out there that&#039;s worth even a little extra look by science...get a new intern. Because George Schaller and Jane Goodall disagree with your intern.

(Don&#039;t know who they are? Then you lack the baseline knowledge to even have considered tackling this topic. So much for Jour 101.)</description>

		<description>For your entertainment here&#039;s what I sent the paper.  (Look Ma, no death threats!)

---------------

Got an idea for you clowns.  Actually, several.

1.  Show me you&#039;ve perused any of the tons of pretty compelling evidence for the existence of this species.  (Including more sightings by more pillars of the community than you could put in this poor excuse for a newspaper.)

2.  Show me where you&#039;ve read that a MOVIE of the thing (sorry, Tom and Pat) has ever been debunked.  The Patterson-Gimlin film never has.  Ever.  The only indepth analyses ever done of it -- by scientists using scientific methods -- pronounce this a genuine critter.  If you think it&#039;s been shown to be crap, you&#039;d flunk Journalism 101. No real surprise there.)

3.  Show me, please, that you didn&#039;t GET PAID to write this totally unresearched nonsense.

4.  Show me you even know what&#039;s going on in the country.  With a big election going on you thought this was a better use of your time?  Saaaay, maybe you DID flunk Jour 101.  That&#039;s where they go, to the op-ed page....

5.  Here&#039;s the really great idea.  Take any 100 things the Federal Government spends dough on, put them up against what the Feds are spending on Bigfoot, and have the five people that read this paper tell you via poll where the best money&#039;s being spent.

But that would require research.  Not promising given our source.

[withheld my name and city on the understanding that you don&#039;t post those, but pleased to furnish on request.  ]

(That&#039;s in the USA.  And I&#039;m sure there are no burgs by that name in Canada.)</description>

		<description>Man.  I could have written that so-called editorial, sitting right here.

Get me straight on this.  He/they got PAID to do that?

Vancouver, sheesh.  Hey, do we need to believe, much less read, anything printed in a newspaper from a town that lacks the brains to do more than copy the name of a CANADIAN city?

These guys wouldn&#039;t know a Bigfoot if one signed their paychecks in front of them.  Odds are good something with less brains than a Bigfoot does.

And while we&#039;re on evidence:  this so-called editorial is all the evidence I have that these idiots exist.  There&#039;s much more, and much much better, evidence for Bigfoot.  Not that they&#039;d know that.

And I too have NEVER seen a black hole.  And how many of these eedjits even understand the mathematics that constitute all the &quot;evidence&quot; we have for them?

Maybe there&#039;s some funding we should cut off, hmmm?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m just wondering if the author of the article even went to college. I attended a state funded school and most of the money for research and such comes from: tuition, grants, or gifts. Unless this specific study has received a grant from a tax-funded program, the tax payers really have nothing to do with it.

Also, considering we don&#039;t even know all of the species that exist in our national parks, who&#039;s to say we won&#039;t discover a Sasquatch somewhere? Right now, only one park in the country (Great Smokey Mountains National Park) is even conducting an an All Taxa Biodiversity Initiative - where they try to locate and document every species living in the park system.</description>

		<description>Okay.

That&#039;s it.

Pack it up, folks.

Mystery solved.

The Columbian editorial staff, who apparently has waaay more credibility than Jeff Meldrum, unequivocally says bigfoot doesn&#039;t exist. Heck, the Columbian editorial staff must know something that Goodall and Schaller don&#039;t know.

Craig Woolheater needs to shut down this part of Cryptomundo. He needs to call off his bird dogs in the TBRC. Stop beating the bushes.

Shut the BFF down, Brian. It&#039;s all over.

Loren Coleman needs to recall all of his books on the subject.

I just wish the Columbian gurus had told us a long time ago.</description>

		<description>&quot;A hunter would have shot one in the past 150 years. A motorist would have hit one crossing a road somewhere.&quot;

Who says one hasn&#039;t been shot or one hasn&#039;t been hit crossing a road?

Are there not credible reports of Sasquatch being shot and being hit crossing roads? I believe there are. And where were you and your camera, Mr. Leeson?  Maybe you&#039;ll be the first to hit a Sasquatch with a camera.</description>

		<description>OK. Maybe Bigfoot DOESN&#039;T exist. That possibility does not invalidate Dr. Meldrum&#039;s research. Something, or some things, produced the evidence that he studies. The only way to prove, or disprove, whether Bigfoot produced the evidence is to subject that evidence to scientific scrutiny. Is Dr. Meldrum biased? Of course he is. Any researcher who cares enough about a  given subject to want to research it is biased. That&#039;s why using strict research guidelines is important.

Taxpayer dollars support all kinds of research, from religious studies to the next cure for cancer. Taxpayer dollars have supported research into UFOs and the breeding habits of white mice.

Why would Bigfoot be any less worthy of research dollars than any other subject?</description>

		<description>Another narrow-minded editor at another corporate newspaper that requires registration to leave a comment so they can fill your e-mail account with snake oil cures.  I would merely like to point out that there are many wildlife photographers who never see or would recognize an unknown species.</description>
