Have y'all heard about this? I know we should avoid talking politics on Jeep forums but I like to ride on public lands.

Article

What do you think about it? I think We should keep all of our public lands public and it's ridiculous to propose selling OUR land to raise a measly 800 million dollars to build schools in the US when we can Borrow 100's of billions to rebuild Iraq. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

JeePete, I was under the impression "they" (BLM?) dropped this matter and will not be selling our publics lands. I was shocked when the subject was being discussed several months ago. Would have a been a huge land grab by the wealthy & huge corporations. American citizenry would have lost out big time, now, and in the future. We've got to elect & hire more responsible individuals in Congress and Federal government, respectfully.

The article was published last Friday (2/10/06) so I assume it's still up in the air though it does say it's unlikely to be approved. They also call it the potentially largest such sale in decades so I guess they have gotten away with it before.It get's me where a proponant says it's OK because the parcels are surrounded by private land! DUH! What Natl forest or Park is Not surrounded by private land? Freakin sassafrassin so&sos! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

I don't think I could quite get all my thoughts out involving government sales of land and their rules governing it without the use of "colorful metaphors".

So in short, it is horrid.
