"The debate over their (Bigfoot's) existence is moot in the circumstance of their tenuous hold on merely existing," reads a petition presented by Lake to parliament in March and due to be discussed next week.I predict that if a U.S. congressman takes up the cause he'll be not from Washington or Oregon but from California.
