Elsewhere on the Net
J.D. Tuccille, author of the Western Lands novel “High Desert Barbeque,” offers a detailed (and amusing, at least to some of us) update on the efforts of the federal government and its statist allies to keep the majority of the lands in the western states in their grasping claws at http://tuccille.com/disloyal/2015/11/09/the-great-western-land-grab/ .
“The western lands issue can’t help but heat up,” J.D.comments today. “Priorities are now too divergent between D.C. and the West to avoid that. How that conflict plays out depends on how much gumption westerners show and who is making decisions at the federal level when this all comes to a head. We’re in for some interesting times ahead, in the Chinese curse sense, I suspect.”
Amen.
