Portland. Home of the ONRC. Nuff said.

I'm painfully aware of what your talking about. The condensed version is that the greens acting as usful idiots of the developers use the states to get land set aside by the FED and then the land reverts back to the states in sweetheart deals for the special interests.

Check out the latest land swap in Utah as a good example. Mineral and water rights.

I was listening to a very interesting discussion about Saddamn and mineral right......namely oil. It occurred to me that one way to "disarm" him would be to take the oil fields immediately.

After all, the only "power" he has IS the oil.
