    Anything that's not a national park should be sold off to private owners.

    The feds and the state will make a ton of money, ranchers and farmers and others will be happy to own their own land, and everyone except the radical environmentalists and socialists will be very happy indeed.

    The Feds could do us all a huge favor and end their hogging of state lands. A state can offer grazing at a fair price.

    Somebody blamed Reagan for the current mess. Well, he died years ago and has not been president since 1989. Congress can fix this.

    If they really cared about we the people, they would fix it fast.

    Rather than force us to buy insurance, Obama should have fixed this with states.

    I want Congressional hearings! I want to know about the shooting of the livestock and the no fly zone. I want to know why armed forces were sent to collect "fees" I want to know why and how Hairy Scarey knows that Bundy hasn't paid any taxes. Sounds to me like he's snooping were he ought not be a snooping, just like he did with Romney!

    I'm not the only one asking why the heck we allow the Federal government to own, mismanage and lord over so much property.

    It is about power. More for the feds. Less for the states and the people.

    We are actually lucky that the federal government is largely incompetent. Or we would all be slaves by now.

    Here we have lots of squatters on federal/state lands.
    It's kind of a weird feeling when we are in the woods.
    You can feel the eye's on you on your trip to the fishing hole.
    They live off the land.
    I have no clue as what needs to be done.
    We do not need apartments on every acre either.

    As long as we do not sell off public land to foreign powers like Red China, it could be very profitable.

    It would be good to have a new Homestead Act for the little guy, as long as the useage of such land is within reason, and ingress and egress are done. All public roads need to be kept open, which the USFS does not do now.

    You would have to severely change the enviro bent mentality of the EPA, and Nat. Fish and Wildlife and BLM to accomplish anything.And existing laws and regulations would have to be overturned, which would be a nightmare!

    I just don't believe we cab trust either party to do anything, without caving in to special interests.
