If nothing else, the Bear Valleyite is a passionate beast! So, every once in a while a point of discussion will get everybody's dander up: Heated debates ensue replete with fist-slammin', foot-stompin' soap box lip-flappin' opinionations and such. These dialogues record history—not written by the victors this time; but, simply by those passionate enough to stand up and have their voice heard. Therefore, being History, as such, they should probably not be edited but for a short preface, overview or footnote.
