The U.S. already jails more people than any other country, let's take it all the way!
A country cannot exist without the of law, but even if Bundy is grazing on public land, there is no harm being done. There may be a violation of a regulation here, but the libertarian in me says the BLM should “just look the other way”. If every federal rule violator were held to the same standard there woudln’t be an empty courtroom or jail cell in the country.
Farmers and ranchers were the first “environmentalists” after all - there’s nothing that sharpens your awareness of the land than to depend on it for your very existence. So, Mr. Bundy isn’t damaging the public land, he’s not committing any crime, he’s just disobeying a federal rule that was created by a bureaucrat in Washington DC. Regulations have to be balanced with equity and common sense.
