What's another couple billion here or there right?

I guess you don't believe in painting your house either, right? That land belongs to all of us and it needs to be maintained properly. It's not only our responsibility, it's a point of pride that we do it. IT'S OURS!!!!

If I paint my house, I pay for it. That's the difference between private property and public (i.e., government) property. Why does it make sense to you to have citizens in Hawaii pay for the maintenance of forests in Colorado or California? And where in the Constitution is the federal government authorized to control our nation's forests? If the feds had any sense, they would turn control of these parks and forests to their respective states.

Oh, what precious sentiment. I feel all happy and patriotic about it. BTW, I need a new paintjob on my car. When are you going to be heading over to have it done for me and pay for it to boot?
