[QUOTE="gst, post: 86970, member: 373"] My apologies for making an assumption the tone of your posts regarding my comments seemed much like those of a poster known as wstnodak. Given some peoples decisions to hide behind a new moniker ................. I do find it a bit ironically amusing though your first claim is you will not engage in answering simple questions..........yet you then ask a question with an apparent expectation of an answer........ So to directly answer your question in a little less direct manner than kurt r :), no it is not. You seem to have a misunderstanding of the difference between a sovereign nation and a state. Perhaps if you take the time to learn that and come back we can discuss this further and then perhaps you would be willing to return the consideration and answer the question I posed you. which are you most likely to be able to impact, the Federal Corps management of these lands, or a state agency answerable to your elected state representatives whom you may run into at Menards or Perkins or sit by in church? [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] And that Tim is exactly why this is a good example of why many of these Federal lands should be transferred to a entity that is more responsive to the people that are most impacted by the management of these lands..........the people of the state in which they lie. Despite mounties insinuation, I do not support returning Federal lands to another sovereign nation where the people of a state have no say in the management of them. If these lands would have been being managed by the state, instead of simply posting a comment to a website, you could have introduced a bill to share your plans with others, gained support, testified in support, and ultimately chosen to run to implement change if the elected representatives in place did not seem responsive to the peoples wishes. Now as you state, after those public comments have been largely ineffective, you are down to convincing these state officials to sue a Federal agency in a Federal court. I have this funny idea having conversations over a cup of coffee or after church with a handful of elected state officials (or when they are out campaigning for re election in a public forum) might be a better option for positive results for how these lands are managed than the process you have showed exists with the Feds. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] You mean like the Feds are doing? ;) [/QUOTE]
