Revisiting K. Ross Toole’s lecture “The Winds of Montana” to prepare for an interview tomorrow and came across this poignant message from Toole from 1985: “While space is costly, it has now become extraordinarily precious and therein lies the root of things. And therein lies the root of optimism on many peoples part, because America has not run out of space, but it is about to run out of quality space. And it is quality space Montana has in abundance. Beautiful space, clean space, quiet space, space rich in the qualities Americans, having increasingly lost it elsewhere, are now seeking and have never sought it before. And while supply and demand is not an immutable economic law, it does remain true that if what people want becomes more and more limited in supply, the demand for it becomes greater and greater. And if properly handled, the value increases accordingly. If space and distance have been Montana’s historical curse, and they have been, they have now become Montana’s blessing and it would be a terrible irony if we were to turn a curse into a blessing only to turn it back into a curse.” Archival photo of Missoula circa 1965 from the University of Montana.

Oath Keepers: ‘How I escaped my father’s militia’

Militia leader Stewart Rhodes could face two decades in prison. It took his son years to escape him. "The latest outrage swirls around an occasion at Mar-a-Lago in which the former president dined with avowed antisemites. But we do a disservice to history and the dangers we face by bundling recriminations under the banners of combatting “MAGA” or “Trumpism.” The former president may have built his political power by tapping into a well of hate, but the reservoir was already there. Others are eager to draw from its waters as well. "
Unfortunate.
Marilyn Bartlett: State employee health plan's reversion to the past
helenair.com
In January, Montana intends to cast aside its innovative, price-transparent state employee health plan in favor of the opaque, traditional model. "But as we look for lessons from 2022 for 2024 and beyond, a major one should be humility. We hold elections because our politics are up to voters — not pundits or prognosticators. Voters surprised us in many regions in ways that should comfort and worry both Republicans and Democrats. We are divided, and the balance of power does teeter on slim majorities in the House and Senate. But that does not mean that our politics are calcified. There can be — and frequently are — shifts and surprises. State political identities can evolve. And nothing should be taken as a given. "
