A lot of people felt that way. Once. Look up Wildlands Project and Turtle Island. Even crazier by far, but still 100% UN approved under A21.

It is all so nuts people just shut sown when they hear it as you dis. I cannot blame them. But it is quite real. Lots of ‘crazy things’ are real. And the advantage the libs have is that by being so outrageous with this crap, people do not accept it until there’s no turning back from them.

Not without CW2 anyway.

It is TIME to DownSize DC! Close Entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments including their SWAT Teams.>p? The only way to remove the subversive Bureaucraps that are doing this is close their nesting place. Total elimination.

Move anything worthwhile back to the State level where they can be closely watched. And the funding starved to keep them in check.

AGREE..... Ditto times 100!!!

And, an Article V convention proposing Amendments such as: rescinding the 17th amendment, States having the power to recall Federal judges and elected federal officials, States being able to override/veto federal laws, States being given the power to impeach and convict Federal officials.. etc, etc. We need to return the balance of power to the STATES!!!

What is “Wilderness to Wildland”.

I notice that designation on the area where we have a cabin, in the Sequoia National Forest. Since it is a national forest, doesn’t that mean the feds own it?

Yes I agree with what you and Texas Fossil said. that's could save our Republic of the USA. however local and state legislators can also be tyrants. so what about making legislators at all levels also be directly accountable to the people. My plan

1. Repeal all laws, regulations, amendments and government to 1900

2. This is supposed to be government “by WE the People” right? ok then any law these government cretins try to pass MUST be approved also by a vote of at least 66% of the registered voters in a county, State or , Country or 66% of the voting population. if a law is SO needed then surely 66% of the people will also go to vote and approve it .

3. any new law must only fit on a page and be easily understood.

4. any new tax, any new gov program must be put on a ballot and people must come out to vote to pass it by 66% of the voting population otherwise their dumb law does not get passed this is in addition to the usual legislative process.

5. My reasoning for this is that the only laws needed are those that prevent the use for force . also government is unaccountable and evil and doesn't work. furthermore anything you can possibly imagine you will ever need can be produced by the free market as the millions of new products out there on the Internet, ebay, google, amazon ,walmart, dollar tree etc. prove. government is just corruption, force, unaccountability ,a waste and evil and just hampers the free market and our opportunities

Any one with a brain think that the Constitution intended for all the members of ONE party the democrat party to pass a 3000 page bill called Obamacare on Christmas eve without even them reading it? And they did it behind the people's back. no I don't think so

They think a lot of people showed up at the Bundy ranch? They ain’t seen nothing yet.....

They obviously do not understand Texans. The show of force would make their sphincters pucker to the point of puking.

Texas does seem to have the most private land. This is why it's the most prosperous and free of the states.

Exactly right. Sometimes people ask "What makes Texas so different from all the other states?" The answer is fairly simple: When Texas was admitted to the Union, it retained sovereignty over all of its unpatented public lands within its borders; in contrast, the other western states ceded sovereignty over their public lands to the federal government, usually for the purpose of dumping the cost of law enforcement in the sparsely populated public range onto the feds, who were only too happy to take the western states up on the deal.

Most of the lands in Texas have been severed from the sovereign, i.e., patented into private hands. Those that were not, totaling some 2.1 million acres, were placed into the Permanent University Fund, the bulk of which are situated in the massive mineralogical storehouse known as the Permian Basin. Lease bonuses, oil and gas royalties and surface lease reveneues from production activities on the University Lands, which are shared by The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A & M University, place these two institutions squarely among the wealthiest public institutions of higher learning on the planet.

The Henderson ranch, which is at the center of the Red River controversy, was duly patented and the Henderson family holds the same pursuant to a regular chain of title from said patent (actually, a series of patents) to the present day. These are clearly private fee lands, severed from the sovereign, which could have been one of the following entities, depending on when each particular survey was patented:

1. Spain

2. Republic of Mexico

3. Republic of Texas

4. State of Texas

Please note that the cited sovereign entities which could have patented any or all of this 90,000 acres now owned by the Henderson group DOES NOT include the United States, which has literally had to purchase just about every acre in Texas it now owns.

Contrast the Henderson situation with that of the Bundy family, who, with the exception of 150 acres of private fee lands they own, are running their cattle on public lands which have never been patented, i.e., severed from the sovereign, and which for all purposes is still owned by the U.S. government. The Bundys may have some prescriptive claim on at least some portion of these lands, but at last report they had yet to persuade a judge or jury as to that assertion.

At any rate, next time somebody asks, "What the hell makes Texas so different?" you'll have the answer ready for them.

What is “Wilderness to Wildland”.

**************

Work you way around this site for some info. It essentially is an attempt
to reduce human influence on the exploitation of natural resources as I understand it.
