I'm here in S. Ohio just across the river from E. KY, and I resent it when the Fed sends down directives about the development of coal. They've got all kinds of restrictions on the use of that natural resource that would take away a lot of the poverty in this area.

So, I fully understand anyone resenting the Fed taking away their land either directly or through seizing control of the land by declaring it national property.

It's something I've long felt about the elites on the coasts, particularly the Boston, NYC, to DC crowd. We are just flyover country to them, except when they want a park. They like to declare us their amusement/entertainment areas, so they can camp and hug trees, and show us their oh so wise. The truth is that they've paved over their own paradise and have no intention whatsoever leaving their concrete jungles, but they sure like to steal the property of others, so they can maintain their phony earth-friendly self-images.

Hypocrites.

You are so right!
