re: #171 Kragar

That kind of sentiment goes over real well in the West (places like ID, WY, SD, ND, UT, NV, NM,) where the BLM, NPS, and other federal agencies like the Defense Department control access to land and/or manage lands for forestry, mining, cattle grazing, and other purposes.

Mind you that those grazing cattle on those lands are probably getting a cut rate discount for those activities, and by limiting mining and other activities on those federal lands, they are protecting other nearby resources, including national parks, aquifers for irrigation and human consumption, and preserving resources for future generations.
