I suppose this is your place so you can post any manner of jackassery you want, but please provide specific examples where the land has been raped and ruined to back up your claims of poor stewardship. By ruined I mean never again usable. Temporary uses such as a strip mine or oil field are not ruined as reclamation technology is such that the land is in better shape after than before. Also please provide specific examples of where grazing has ruined the land beyond repair. Township, Range, Section. Lat Long, whichever is easier.
