Conservatives want to open lands in Alaska and off our shores for oil drilling... What makes these areas any less permanently protected than a few thousand acres of prairie?<br /><br />For the record, I don't necessarily disagree with you.

I don't think stockgrowers have a right...Larry,<br />I don't think stockgrowers have a right to decimate our natural resources. I don't believe they should be allowed on the national forest...period. The notion that they don't eat young trees is baloney...I have pictures of them stripping Aspen saplings bare.<br /><br />That said, a wilderness designation is forever. I've no issue with allowing the grasslands to heal from abuse if it is there.<br /><br />Then, manage it for people. Setting aside 40,000 acres forever is excessive. My objection is not to sensible management; it is to excessive management.<br /><br />And, no, we do not want you to leave. We want the Decorum Forum to be a place where people of differing views can make their cases. The resulting debate almost always leads to some common ground.<br /><br />The greatest work the government has ever done has begun its journey from ideas to law from such common ground.Michael Sanbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523147171085428754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123919364122433432.post-4500266914944512292010-01-25T22:47:23.281-07:002010-01-25T22:47:23.281-07:00Mr. Sanborn, you just about lost me from this site...Mr. Sanborn, you just about lost me from this site (maybe you want that); most of my bitch with the debacle that is South Dakota is slammed into the end of this thread:<br />http://www.rapidcityjournal.com/app/blogs/politicalblog/?p=4886#comments<br /><br />Non-point pollution is a red herring configured by industrial ag to lay further waste to an already decimated environment.<br />Wilderness designations attempt to rehabilitate scorched earth by throwing out the offenders. <br /><br />That's why ground must lie fallow for five years before it can be certified safe for organically-raised crops!<br /><br />Bovine sulfa drugs are killing the entire region's mycology; then Pfizer and Monsanto will sell you enzymes so you can digest your GMO-laden gruel.larry kurtzhttp://www.rapidcityjournal.com/users/profile/interested_party/noreply@blogger.com
