TY! And I tip my hat to your knowledge of the life of Teddy R.---actually one of my favorite 2 or 3 presidents, partially because of his attitude towards Corporations and their "ways", as well as his reverence for our LAND, especially the wild places of our Land!
Simply put he was the greatest of all our Presidents on the necessity of PRESERVING the best/wildest/most scenically special portions of OUR LAND for future Generations!
I also (grudgingly) tip my hat to the beat down your Dire Wolves gave to my beloved Red Sauks in the playoffs!
We WILL get you next time.
Now that we've been all Kum Bi yah, or whatever............
I might as well take inspiration from Teddy and make a public stand that I've privately held for years.
And thus, **** off half the public!
This cattleman's son, someone who actually appreciates a cow, someone who has arisen VERY early in the AM in order to feed Cows, says LOUDLY and Proudly.
It is time to get cows OUT OF OUR NATIONAL LANDS. End grazing permits NOW, or at least phase them out quickly.
We must stop subsidizing the destruction of OUR LANDS by allowing ranchers of the west to graze their cattle in the National Forest as if this was still 1868, and as if we still had open grazing laws and hadn't heard of fences or LEARNED about the destruction caused to OUR LANDS (especially riparian areas of the West and SW) by the grazing of cattle!
It is wrong and is stupidly allowing the destruction of the ecosystems of OUR Lands!
Now, while you're hunkered down---------go listen to some Todd Snider! Any of them, but particular HIS take on the subject of our Land!
