Quote:I understand their motivations but I would not say I agree with their motivations. I would want to know more about exactly what regulations have changed, why they changed, and more about how that impacted the lives of the people affected. Just because regulations affect people, that doesn't mean we should not have regulations. There are costs and benefits to everything, and I don't think I know enough to say whether we should tighten the regulations on use of federal land or not. The problem is, since federal land belongs to all the people, that means that federal land in Idaho belongs to a person living in Boston as much as it belongs to a person living in Idaho. Right or wrong, federal land belongs to everyone, not just to people who want to graze their cattle on it. And yet we have to understand how the people living next to federal land who have used it for generations are being squeezed out and having their lives affected. All I'm saying is, it's not an easy issue.
