"If this land were being given to some conservation group to protect a spotted owl or some cave bugs, they wouldn't blink an eye. "

I also have less problem with that than with the taking of our land to give to a corporation.

I have an equally large problem with the idea that just because I own land I am presumed to be unable or unwilling to allow nature to coexist there. This merely states that some "expert" will do a better job of taking care of land that has been in the family's care for over 300 years.

Had that land not been cared for in the first place, there would be no endangered whatsywhoosit to protect.

THE PROBLEN IS OVERCROWDING FROM POPULATION GROWTH.

CAUSED BY MASSIVE IMMIGRATION.

If they didn't need to make room to house and supply all those immigrants, they wouldn't need to take your property for any reason.

There would be plenty of room and resources and roads and parking lots for Americans, OUR children, and for wildlife.

Population growth from immigration is what has been taking your freedoms away.

So long as we flood the country with people, so long will even I agree that our rights and freedoms must be renegotiated down.
