But the land Teddy Roosevelt saved is not your private land, and I don't have to trust you personally to do what's best for it.

Teddy Roosevelt was one of the most prolific land grabbers ever.

First of all, whatever land the Feds manage to put on welfare, becomes ruined. Fires, floods, invasive species etc. Examples are all the ruined lands out west and the ill Everglades National Park.

When the crackers and Indians had it, it was all well groomed praries with tons of small game and in turn large game. Now it's managed by disinterested bureacrats from Rhode Island or the Northwest or wherever. Nearly all species of warm blooded vertibates have been depletd in the last 50 years.

The government is the worst possible steward of natural resources, you're a damn fool if you think otherwise.
