[QUOTE="gst, post: 106067, member: 373"] And there is the predictable spin. Out of a whopping 53 responses to a poorly written poll, 26 thought there was a 50% or less chance the states would sell it and 27 thought it higher than a 50 - 50 chance. And the person that created the poll either intentionally or foolishly left out the simple fact that the "state" will likely not do anything the people do not allow. Claim what you wish about lobbyists or organizations, it is the individual person that marks a ballot and politicians know that. And here in ND on numerous issues, when those people have been presented the facts of an issue they are being asked to vote on they have voted accordingly. Here in ND, it does not necessarily come down to the largest wallet. Both HSUS and DU had far larger wallets than those opposing them on two separate measure of late, and yet once facts and truth were told, the people of this state figured it out. Now if plainsmans ;poll was to be of any real value, the question should have been would you support the state selling Federal lands once they are turned over to the state. I am betting there would have been a larger percentage that would have voted no. And if we have gotten to a point where 80% or more of the voice of the people are not being followed by elected officials, we have more to worry about than whether it is the state or feds that hold title to this land. And at that point,perhaps just like those fellas 240 years ago, those fellas in Oregon and Nevada had it right. Happy Independence Day. [/QUOTE]
