fritz,

Ol Debbie there sounds like a card carrying member of the Buffalo Commons. And you are right, they are still out there and every now and then they find a bit of dumb and write a letter to the editor. Funny stuff.

My thoughts exactly. Buffalo Commons. She comes off as an idealist:

Imagine buffalo on the open range in western North Dakota, with wildlife corridors to the Black Hills and southeastern Montana, and people employed as guides, safety officers and in administration. Let us be holy as God is holy. God does not micromanage creation, but rather lets it flourish according to God’s design. Let us likewise enjoy and reap the bounty of God’s creation, and live simply without thought of exploitative gain.

It certainly sounds like she wants a huge healthy wild environment for North Dakota. One problem....It first takes a healthy economic environment or else we won't have the luxury/money to take care of the environment.

This thread started with a piece written by Bob Marshall. Bob wants more federal land. His views are biased. Someone mentioned prairie dogs. Federal Land and wildlife corridor wish list, Conata Basin South Dakota. Too many prairie dogs. The fed/gov brought in Black Footed Ferrets at $1 million each. Closed to hunting. The overpopulated prairie dogs all died from plague. ALL. The disease was spread from colony to colony by raptors. Prairie dogs disappeared from the landscape for miles. Then in 2011 SD had a wet spring. The abandoned prairie dog towns blew up with Canada Thistle.

The ranchers are still there but they are changed. One ran for Governor but he lost.

The fed/gov wants more land. They can't manage what they have now.
