I just wrote a letter to the Corp of Engineers an asked whatfer they stuck a cork in the dam. And howcome they changed the normal pool level to 708 instedda 706. An that they prolly didnt care, but they had succeeded in screwin up my fishin fer the last two years.
Also asked em howcome the local lectric providers didnt get their power from the dams instedda buyin it from a coal burner in springfield.
I cant wait ta see if they even respond. lol

Hillbilly, this thread has been botherin me ever since I first read it! Ya mite remember that I had a couple of responses to th new length limit discussions an such that th Mo. Dept. Of Conservation (MDC) had goin awhile back, that I circulated around to some different forums. I also sent those to th MDC. I got exactly th same results that you did.....NUTHIN ! Not surprisin rilly. Our people "of" th government are always tellin us how they want our input in current issues, and they stage get-togethers so we can express our views. It's mostly a lotta hooey! They are gonna do perty much what who ever is th head cheese wants to do, after it's all sed an done. Our people "of" th government know that money is th ultimate decider of all things political. To that end all efforts an energys are directed. That's why yer fishin hole will coninue to be a swamp with no predictable level. It has not one d......ern thing ta do with yer enjoyment of fishin, or how much energy savings an production is or is not involved. It has ta do with reveues pouring into Party Cove and all those businesses on Lake of th Ozarks, an property values there, and makin sure th water doesn't prove what a bunch of inept desk-jockeys th Corps of Engineers (in civilian capacities) really are, by washing out Bagnell Dam! Its th same with my views on fishin rules and regulations. I never got a response, either; not even so much as an acknowledgement that I sent them anything. For all th good venting our views does, we mite as well try poundin sand in a rathole! I hope th day never arrives that we ain't allowed ta gripe, but my biggest gripe of all is th futility of doin it!
