I don't think it is equally likely that the director of the WTBTS had a return visit with one of the two proprietors of a fishing lodge in the middle of Alaska as it is that the director took a vacation to said lodge. While I disagree with Gerard's style I agree with his conclusion, and though I am always looking for more evidence I understand his frustration with those who seem to have no ability to weigh evidence.

I never said it proved anything, except that the stop in Telida was not a layover. They could have been going to Telida for all kinds of reasons. They might have had a return visit there. They might have gotten a letter from one of the people there asking for a call. They might have gotten a letter from the other person there. Or even both. Since this is possible, and it is possible they were fishing, you have to admit they are equally likely (sarcasm). Surely the most likely possibility with the evidence we have is that they were on a fishing trip. Not proven, but very likely.
Does anyone have access to flight plans? A check on the last few years flights might be interesting. Perhaps they go witnessing to Alaskan fishing holes every year.
Anybody want to write the Telidans a letter? They know what the witnesses were doing up there.

I did a little research. Though the 2003 flight plan listed Telida as an intermediate stop between Fairbanks and Minchumina it is not actually BETWEEN the two geographicall speaking. In fact Telida is about 40 miles on the opposite side of Minchumina from Fairbanks, so it was clearly not a "layover". There are several small towns between Fairbanks and Minchumina with airports, including Neenana (Pop. 500) and Minto (Pop. 250), neither of which were stopped at.

I agree that GM crops need testing, but all crops are in some way genetically modified through selective breeding. There is no guarantee of the safety of any crops, GM or not. GM crops don't have a monopoly on allergens. Besides, health benefits resulting from the reduction in pesicide and herbicide use outweigh the allergy cases. I think the safety issue is overblown compared to the issues of who controls the means to produce seeds and the problem of rBGH being passed into milk, and it is ridiculous to think that the supply chains for animals and people can be kept separate, which means that if people can't eat it it shouldn't be grown. I think people should have the right to choose what they eat, which means that they will probably have to get their food from small local growers.
