so presenting ID to vote is next?
The former Land of Many Uses is converting to the UN Agenda 21 requirements .
Great, looks like I might need to find another elk hunting area. Couple this with the new gun laws I might just pass through on my way to another state and not spend my $$.
The USFS and BLM just keep chipping away at keeping the public off our public lands.
That's INSANE!...........
Funny. Someone in CO recently offered the excuse that most of the people in western CO are conservative. Highly doubtful. These days, even Republicans (in some states more than others) get a kick out of shocking newer residents of a year or so with their extremes in paganism, sexual confusion and socialism. Besides, nearly all of the land in western CO is owned by the government. That’s conservative, in the minds of fans of the likes of Teddy Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Henry “Back Door” Beecher and Charles Fourier. It’s not conservative to me.
Why would you not register? If heaven forbid I didn’t return from a hike I would certainly want the authorities to know what trail I entered on.
Most of CO’s revenues come from the federal government (military/security, education, regulatory, surveillance of tourists, etc.). Tourism is second.
There’s an activity also known in rural CO as First Settler Syndrome. Established residents do whatever they can through local government and by other means to stop newer residents from building homes on vacant lots.
Same with the new gun control laws. First Settlers are “all grandfathered in,” as they say in CO, and can keep their standard capacity magazines, etc. They much look forward, though, to seeing tourists arrested, fined (revenues) or even jailed (prison industry big time in CO) nearly as much as hearing about their lady friends in planning offices telling new residents, “No!” [The first step in residential development, just before the big fleecing.]
It is always the stupid few who make it difficult for the rest of us.
Truly sad to see a freely open area trashed. I have seen it many times and it is always a matter of time before they restrict access or charge. All they need is an excuse.
I am not an enviro nut but I do respect what we have. Leave the place cleaner than when you arrived!
So, don’t enter at a trailhead; rough it in. But don’t expect the rangers to put a high priority on saving your butt if you do something stupid or are just plain unlucky!
If anyone wants to be on or off the Agenda 21 ping list, please notify me by Freepmail. It is a relatively low volume list in which we have been exploring the UN Agenda21 and related topics. We have collected our studies with threads, links, and discussions on the Agenda 21 thread which can be found here:

NEW ACTION THREAD:

Post 128 of the Action Thread is a summary of the history of Agenda 21, “what they are doing”, “what to do about it” and a good bibliography for further reading.
