I meant spare me the persecution complex. But self-pity applies too.
You're soooooooooooooooooooooo persecuted b/c the national government has a say in how national lands are managed.

Persecution is rarely a function of government having a say, but rather the stupidity that inevitably follows when government acts upon that right. Take for example your issue about being upset that Idaho wants to keep the gray wolf herd thinned at a level that keeps it just above endangered species status ( I believe you refered to it as eradication until someone asked if perhaps you were exercising some hyperbole) and using the fact that the wolves wander onto private property to do so. This is not a public lands only debate and framing it that way demonstrates an ignorance of the issue, as what big brother does on his private property seems to impact what us potato gleaning po folk do on ourn.

GN throws a pity party for himself every few weeks.
I'm glad the CB crowd doesn't see it. They might lose respect. |

And my point is that the "non-benevolent landowners" have been entirely too benevolent. The ranchers have been too powerful in setting the policy at the expense of the overall health of our public lands. Ranchers should remain, but in a more tightly controlled and reduced manner. The price is worth it.

Anarchy is preferable to the controlled atmosphere of eastern living.

Now you're sounding more reasonable. Where public land management affects private landowners, then accomodations need to be made. But your accomodations -- kill 40% of the wolf population on public landsin one year, and allow private citizens to kill wolves indiscriminately, whether on public or private land if they "worry" livestock or domestics is not the proper accomodation. But it's typical . . .

Since you're from Las Vegas, i can see why you believe that. It's a wonderful place out there.
