We are loggers and lawyers, ranchers and receptionists, miners and merchants, liberals and conservatives, churchgoers and welfarecheats. What bound us together was a sense of place, the ownership of a state so big you can't drive from one corner of it to the other in one day, even without a speed limit a state so vast and varied it's hard to imagine one border holding it all in.That the suspected Unabomber could live in our midst for 25 years without anyone suspecting anything seems most stunning to outsiders, who react to the fact that folks here respect each other's privacy as if it were a notion right out of the head of Stalin himself, instead of one of the basic tenets of our democracy.

The earnest MoveOn kids registering voters. The eager Democratic National Committee recruiters assailing us with, Do you want to get George Bush out of office?One afternoon, Emi asked, Mommy, who are you voting for?I'm going to vote for John Kerry.Me too, she said.
