All of the mismanagement happened on President Clinton's watch! Under Clinton the government engaged in one of the biggest land grabs in U.S. History. The result was too much Federal land, and not enough employees to manage it all.
"You (the federal government) have mismanaged these federal lands, which lie within our state boundaries,"
Then Destructor, you state:
"Under Clinton the government engaged in one of the biggest land grabs in U.S. History"
Article I, Section 8, Section 17, U.S. Constitution states:
"To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever,...over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state..."
It seems to me the ultimate blame for federal "land grabs" and mismanagement of "federal lands" falls squarely on the shoulders of the citizens of the states that elected legislators who consented to the purchase of sovereign state land by our federal government.
Except for the term "All", I agree 100% with your post - I'm afraid the BS of enviro-wacko thought started long before 'toon, though. I remember folks being scuttled by gov't EPA-like crap back in the 80's!
No, definitely not blaming my hero, R. Reagan, it's just that the enviro-idiots have been out of control for decades!! How old is "GreenPeace"?
Remember, too, these are the same folks who tell us we should eat more chicken, because to eat beef supports the cattle industry, and there are too many cows farting into the atmosphere, and this is hurting ozone levels. This sure sounds credible to me, especially since I am educated in REAL science - BVWAHAHAHAHAHA!
If we resurected the lumber industry and let them do their thing, this would all be solved! Who better to manage forests than those who could make money off proper management of same!!
