(Jimmy Hendrix – Are You Experienced?)
…
For the most part I think we have been wasting our time with the media. They are not really interested in the science behind all of this… they want to know about the practical joker that claims to have been faking us all out. They think it is all a joke and that is sad… for them and us.
What the media wants from the Bigfoot community is our eccentricity and what they want from the skeptics is those logical explanations of our fallacies. We are a minority of our population. I don’t think we can ever hope to gain much from publicizing what we do with the subject.
Maybe someday it will all pan out, all the hard work of setting camera traps and maintaining them, walking trackless grounds for miles on end with your eyes to the ground, staying up late in the cold blasting away the god awfullest sounds this side of… well I would rather be listening to something else.
Did I ever mention that my early days in Bigfoot research had me spending quite a few nights in garbage dumps?
