You, sir, are a genius! In all of literature, there is probably nothing better to which you could have alluded.

Essentially, building my chateau on one of Missoula's beautiful hills would be like transmogrifying the face of the moon, so that an entirely alien image would now hang over the town.

Jack Vance is my favourite author I've been using the phrase thus for some years now... it perfectly describes what's been happening to places like Missoula and Bozeman for the past couple decades.

ROFLMFAO!!!

You REALLY don't know anything about Montana, do you?!!!?!!

Guns = violence. Wow. Where the hell do YOU live in Montana, so I can stay away from there, lol. The last thing I need is a chicken-**** like you calling the cops when you see an ordianry citizen like me open-carrying.

If guns cause violence then mine are defective.

If I may just say something a bit off topic here....

I was born and raised in Montana and I still reside here happily. Although my schooling and my husband's Military career will soon be taking me away from my home state.

I was one of the lucky few to be brought up on my family's ranch where I worked my a$$ off learning from my family good work skills and values I don't believe come from anywhere else but rurally.

I can assure many people coming from out of state, that if you buy out our land and turn up our old hay fields to build your million dollar mansion and strive to change our "bumpkin" ways of thinking. You will not be welcomed here.

We have all seen too many good summer pastures be turned into "western landscaping" to the tune of millions of dollars. Believe me I now live next to the biggest idiot on the block who came and screamed at me for a good while because someone "drove down his driveway."

I don't believe that no one is welcome here in Montana. I will gladly welcome the next guy who moves here if he is a hard working citizen trying to make a living. I can tell all of you though that I am sick and tired of seeing a new mansion pop up on the tallest driest F-ing hill they can find. Oh and did I mention they only stay in that stupid looking house about a week outta the year!?

I really didn't mean to ramble on I just felt I had to vent.

I haven't changed my mind one bit. Most folks I meet are friendly as can be. And if I were to make my opinions about Montana based upon some of the individuals on this board I'd be led to believe that everyone in Montana is exactly like Klapton: Too afraid to go to the grocery store without being armed and too naive to realize it.

I don't need a gun to feel secure. You do. That's the difference.

Why not include more all-caps lettering, name-calling and superfluous punctuation next time? That way we'll all know how serious you are.

You merely feel secure. I actually am secure. That is the difference. By all means, rely on your badge-wearing betters to keep you safe. I'll take care of myself, thanks.

Did you like the boldface better? Perhaps italics next time?

Not the case at all. Very few people carry out of fear. Rather, most carry because they are willing to be responsible for defending not only themselves, but ALSO are willing to defend those who are unarmed, like yourself, should the need arise.
