My “little” story is multiplied thousands of times each year.
I guess the question to you is “Would you mind if the state took your little piece of land as long as the feds can’t take it?”
Wow. You still don’t get it. You are confusing the issue. What you are addressing is not at all relevant concerning the issue of the lands of the West. The two are very different issues. You are confused and I am sorry about that. I suggest you read up on the issue and it has nothing to do with highways. Good grief.
