I ask this one final question. With the risk of being somewhat of a leading question, I think the gentleman very eloquently stated the position of the people who are there. I guess I would, once again, want to try and somehow if the gentleman could reiterate in his own mind that one of the problems we have had with our failed philosophy in the past that has produced so many problems is trying to have a Washington solution, one size fitting all. Is the gentleman comfortable that the locals who know and understand the land, who know and love that environment, is the gentleman comfortable that they are positive that this is the appropriate thing that they want in their particular area and they know how to control it?
