DC, Who said anything about these folks representing anyone?  I was pointing out that this is the reality we live in and always have.  Fortunately for Oregon, up until recently, Oregon has pretty much escaped it.  The world has shrunk and unfortunately, the island of Oregon is no more.  So we can pretend that these things are not here and won't come or we can acknowledge it and prepare or just ignore it and be shocked, appalled, and exclaim, "This is Oregon. This is not who we are."  Up to you.
