Talk:Dixy Lee Ray

message: Wikipedia writes:
- Begin of Quote -
As volcanic activity increased, the mountain attracted scientists and sightseers. On April 3, 1980, she declared a state of emergency and urged people to stay away from the mountain. This declaration allowed the National Guard to assist State Patrol troopers and sheriffs deputies from Cowlitz County and Skamania County. Ray also issued an executive order that restricted access to Mount St. Helens and surrounding areas

The information is correct. But it does not say that Dixy Lee Ray failed totaly and is indirect responsible for the death of many people. She ignored the warnings and recommendations from official organisations. She said in her own words: "It was not a war time. So I made my decision on the facts that I had". She lied when she said that, because she got warnings from a lot of professional people, who was watching the vulcano Mount St. Helen. She based her decision to NOT EVACUATE PEOPLE on financial reasons. I have not a lot of respect for this women and I am very sad that people died because of her incompetence. This women was an good example that human lives have no values when it comes to business. She was brought to court, but as expected the case was dismissed. What else is to expect when a gouvernour is brought to court? 
It makes me anyway wonder how many articles more are manipulated on wikipedia. I guess that my comment will be anyway deleted. I made a screen copy of this comment here to proof that wikipedia is censored.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankyBkk (talk • contribs) 15:14, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Rumor from Mormon/Roman Catholic individual had it stated that she may have been a lesbian.  I suggested that it may not have been true because she was spending so much time in Oregon with Oregon's governor during her tenure.Gnostics (talk) 01:43, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: On the topic of rumors, the article currently says "While there were many rumors regarding her sexuality, the specific word 'lesbian' was never used to describe her and many people have dismissed those rumors as speculation." This sentence seems self contradictory, saying the term was never used, but immediately after clearly implying there were rumors saying just that. I don't care one way or the other, but it does perhaps seem like something to consider either rewriting or deleting. —Salton Finneger (talk) 15:36, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Rumors

message: In the fourth paragraph the article states, "On April 3, 1980 she declared a state of emergency as a result of the volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens."  This is as wrong as a fart in church.  The eruption wasn't until May 18, 1980, so her declaration was not the "RESULT" of the eruption.  It was a precaution based on her belief that an eruption may be eminent.
Your own article on the eruption states, "Ninety-three separate outbursts were reported on March 30,[12] and increasingly strong harmonic tremors were first detected on April 1, alarming geologists and prompting Governor Dixy Lee Ray to declare a state of emergency on April 3.[13] Governor Ray issued an executive order on April 30 creating a "red zone" around the volcano; anyone caught in this zone without a pass faced a $500 fine or six months in jail.[14] This precluded many cabin owners from visiting their property"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.19.203.121 (talk) 01:02, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
