Nor should he be muzzled in a free and democratic society.<BR/><BR/>I am so glad YOU "know for a fact that all these reports were made available to the panel." Since you choose to remain anonymous with such vital and probative information I can safely speculate as to your integrity as a fool and can also presume you may be a liar too...since you hide your identity.<BR/><BR/>Who in Hell are you and who in Hell do you think you are? Don't waste the time of this Blog and its readers with such anonymous tripe again. <BR/><BR/>If you know something for sure that is significant to a critical issue that impacts the rest of us like royalty rates then have the quality of character to tell us who you are <BR/><BR/>Be a stand up citizen not an anonymous coward.kenchapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11384045981190810115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415271.post-71811457199176706822008-02-06T08:46:00.000-07:002008-02-06T08:46:00.000-07:00Ken:Can you do anything to muzzle your friend Bill...Ken:<BR/><BR/>Can you do anything to muzzle your friend Bill Hunter? He is either a liar or a fool, or both, when he claims he did not see the various government technical reports on royalties cited in his Email response to the ND researcher. I know for a fact that all these reports were made available to the Panel. Maybe he just didn't read them. How politically naive is Chairman Hunter, replying to an Email request from an ND researcher. I suggest you shut him down or I will cut his you know whats out. Tell him to just go away, once and for all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415271.post-82081468297244122292008-02-06T05:55:00.000-07:002008-02-06T05:55:00.000-07:00Betkowski was a Liberal in the PC Party. 200 Days...Betkowski was a Liberal in the PC Party. 200 Days of Change was written by Jim Dinning, not Nancy Betkowski.
