"Now, Bundy is grazing his cattle in the old Bunkerville Allotment, the BLM's Gold Butte area, and National Park System land within the Overton Arm and Gold Butte areas of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The Bundy family never paid for access to the Gold Butte or Overton Arm areas."

Frankly, I don't care. It's being billed by the overreaching feds as "public land" to be used by "everyone." Well, last I checked, Bundy is part of everyone.

Never mind the fact that he is a productive rancher who contributes to the local and national economy.

Now, add to that the fact that his family, who have been grazing that land since the 19th century, also improved the land at their own expense. I'd say the feds can bugger off.

Of course, this whole thing has nothing at all to do with a big solar power deal the feds worked on the down-low that looks to provide a lot of cash to the feds, er, power to the region. Using "public" land with "endangered" reptiles.

I appreciate your opinion and respect most of the various arguments made in support of Cliven Bundy.
