To elaborate a little further, I started off in the logging industry. We have all seen what happened with the spotted owl. Who would have thought that could have stopped the public lands timber industry?

I used to boil at this . Actually I still boil, but I no longer boil over.

You can not change the past, but the future is open.

i used to campaign for opening ANWAR for drilling. Heck now I figure just use the other guys oil and wait till we need the slope. It will happen.

These green spots belong to the green cult of today. They will pass. Perhaps we too will pass before these lands are used properly.

BoB is right - they won. Don't let it happen again. The future is ours.

I think of it as a bank account. When this is put away and the rest is gone we will have some left for a rainy day.

The land is not gone, it is just accessible in a different manner. I have pack horses which will take me anywhere I wish to go, just not fast. During my life in the hills there have been many experiences with folks on motorized vehicles, and not all of them have been positive.

While I am not for more laws and rules, I like having primitive areas to spend my time in.

When the rest is gone, these states will have areas for recreation and enjoyment. The rest will have to come to our area and pay to see it, so it will generate funds.

It is a bank account for our kids and the future generations.

You are right it is a bank account for the debt that china holds. That is why they want to make it bigger, the devaluation of the dollar, need more collateral.


The Grand Staircase Escalante National Park in Utah (under which lies a very large reservse of coal) is the bank account from us (US) to the UN.

While the optimist, the pessimist and the realist were arguing about the glass of water… the opportunist drank it.
Never assume malice for what can be explained by stupidity!
