All the deeded, leased, private vs public BS aside, it amazes me everyone is missing the big picture.
While everybody is on their soap box about some producer stealing from their public land,(even though they will never lay eyes on it) another group of the likes of Defenders of Wildlife is able to push their agenda and dictate the use.
Yessir.
I have repeatedly made that point. As long as it isn't THEM in their sights....
Trouble is, that really IS all of us in their sights. It just hasn't sunk in yet.
When .gov wants to make a point or an example of somebody, they are careful to go against somebody that is flawed in the public's eyes. Somebody who they can paint as a villain. People love to point fingers at the other guy's guilt. "Oh, this guy wasn't paying for some permit, [bleep] him." Then it's off to work so they can tread water one more day or back to the regularly scheduled foosball game. "Randy Weaver was a racist." Etc.
