The federal government owns more than half the land in Western states and its a disgrace a rancher is locked up in prison for grazing cows on land he thinks belongs to him. The feds apparently have nothing better to do with their time than to imprison an old man for trying to pursue a lawful livelihood.

Why is this a concern to you? This is that "Big Government" you tout on other threads in action. I can't see why you are concerned here. Wierd! Blackbird.

I am concerned on account of government transgressing the proper relations between the government and the governed. I believe while the government should protect our country, that doesn't extend to it the authority to go after people engaged in a lawful occupation. Q.E.D.
