I spend a lot of time in state, national, and federal parks. I've never felt like it isn't mine. But I don't feel the need to start cutting down trees or go mudding over graves in Arlington cemetery, or put up fences to keep others out or keep my cows in.

And none of that land would be accessible to me anymore if "we gave it back to the people", which would resort in it being bought up by developers (who are often part of those "elite" we fight against). Because those with the money, (who are often corrupt) would snap up everything they could. And many people today are having trouble putting gas in their cars and beans on their table, let alone buying some of the most desirable land on Earth.

Unless by "giving it back to the people" literally means that, and we're just going to start giving it away for free? Or do another Homestead Act type deal and we can pretend to be Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman from the movie Far and Away? In which case, I guess we have more in common with Socialists than anyone would have thought because that would be right up the alley of every Democrat/lib/socialist that I've ever known.

Guess I should get my tent out and mark off some days on the calendar before someone starts throwing up a McDonald's or Starbucks or some shitty subdivision on my favorite camping spots.
