Message: <blockquote data-quote="Apres" data-source="post: 183607" data-attributes="member: 846">Apres, if you can, please share with us EXACTLY how we as residents can impact the regulations involved in a wilderness designation on Federal lands and I will certainly be interested in see if it can be done. (public comment periods have been proven to be ignored on these issues time and again) I think that's kind of the point of bringing this subject up. Once it's done, made into a wilderness area, or roaded and mined for oil. It can't be undone. So right now is the only way we can change it. If we decide as resident's of ND to support this and turn it into a wilderness area. We have to accept the designation and what comes with it (federal regulations). Same likewise, If we choose to allow the land to become segmented and developed for natural resources we have to accept that these natural areas will forever be changed by our hands and future generations won't be able to experience them as they once were. That's why I think this decision is a very important one, either way, something will change and if we do nothing we still have made a choice. I am not asking to change how things are done in the big picture, just if we can live with the results of washing our hands of it and allowing someone else to make those decisions, either the feds or the natural resource extractors.I agree that Public comments are bullshit they still do whatever they want. However, we still need to use them to the best of our ability especially if that's the only way our voices can be heard, and even if it never changes anything.I think we agree States should have more control of the lands inside of their state. However, they can't be trusted with ownership. As I stated before what's good for one state might be bad for another. local Economy, access issues, firefighting, etc. Blanket regulations don't work for everyone the same.</blockquote>
