The reason you have no one posting on the site you moderate is because of years of this kind of crap. You slap paint around like a little kid painting a fence for the first time that gets more on himself than he does the fence then you get mad and ban those that point that out and try to tell you what might work a little better. I know MANY people on the "right" that support public lands, myself included. We understand the need to keep some lands open to all to use. Even to the point of leaving some undeveloped. But we have seen firsthand the mismanagemnent and inefficiencies of the Federal govt in managing these lands mostly becasue they have people that beleive becasue they have been "trained" and have a degree with a few letters behind their name they know better than anyone else. You have shared that way of thinking yourself on these sites as an ex govt employee/biologist.We have seen a slow gradual replacement of people within govt that worked with people that are out on these lands that are now replaced with people with ideologies like yourself. It is what is pushing that pendelum. So why try to demonize entire groups of people like you do?  What do you hope to gain? Most people know better. Yet once again plainsman here is your "sagebrush rebellion" you post about all the time.  Tell us where this group wants to take public lands away like you constantly accuse. Tell us exactly what ideals they hold that is wrong? <a href="http://www.americanlandscouncil.org/get_the_facts" target="_blank">http://www.americanlandscouncil.org/get_the_facts</a>ALC Public Policy Statement:One of the best resources for clearing up any misinformation is the American Lands Council Policy Statement. The American Lands Council public policy statement in regards to the Transfer of Public Lands was drafted and ratified by over 100 leaders from 14 states as well as the American Lands Council Board of Directors. The policy statement covers the basics of what we believe and what goals we hope to achieve.1. WE URGE THE TIMELY AND ORDERLY TRANSFER OF FEDERAL PUBLIC LANDS TO WILLING STATES FOR LOCAL CONTROL THAT WILL PROVIDE BETTER PUBLIC ACCESS, BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, AND BETTER ECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITY; 2. WE SUPPORT EXCLUDING EXISTING NATIONAL PARKS, CONGRESSIONALLY DESIGNATED WILDERNESS AREAS, INDIAN RESERVATIONS, AND MILITARY INSTALLATIONS FROM THE TRANSFER; AND 3. WE SUPPORT EQUIPPING FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AGENCIES WITH RESOURCES NECESSARY TO PLAN FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO STATE-BASED OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT OF THE TRANSFERRED PUBLIC LANDS; AND 4. WE URGE MANAGEMENT PRIORITIES FOR THESE LANDS THAT WILL:  IMPROVE PUBLIC ACCESS; IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH; IMPROVE ECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITY; RETAIN PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF PUBLIC LANDS; IMPROVE EFFICIENCY OF WILDFIRE CONTROL; INCREASE LOCAL INVOLVEMENT & ACCOUNTABILITY; PROTECT USE RIGHTS; PRESERVE CUSTOMS & CULTURE; INCORPORATE FEDERAL AGENCY EXPERTISE; GENERATE SELF-SUPPORTING FINANCE.<a href="http://www.americanlandscouncil.org/" target="_blank">http://www.americanlandscouncil.org/</a>You might try to learn something from the fable about the little boy that cried wolf palinsman.</blockquote>
