As somebody literally born and raised in Happy Camp, it pains me to watch this. People with such a narrow minded view on land management, speaking in such absolutes. For decades now, people have been pushing their ideals, theories, and lame ass studies about our way of life. Most of you come from cities where you flattened, paved, and raped the land of every living thing in sight. Lived in houses made of wood, were educated on books made of paper, and wiped your asses with toilet paper. Then you come out here, where the land was actually managed and people coexist with nature. We have dealt with everybody else with an opinion on how our town should be, now when local people, that have lived here for 7 generations, decide to speak out... You criticize them? They have every right to refuse service and take a stance. If you don't like it, do like the sign says and shop elsewhere.
