Oh my. The lollipop truckstop. Been awhile since I thought of that place

Mercer, I am fairly certain Fontana Ks has no connection to comifornia. We did have to wright letters to kids in Fontana Ca when in grade school. As I recall they had a lot more students than the 12 in my class. grin

John, you had better find the Ne convention. Half the reason for driving that far is so you can give the old lady a hard time.

It's just so much deeper than trapping though.

My analogy would be one of these desert springs/developed cattle waters.
For 20 plus years the BLM, Federal govt, protectionists have run all the cattlemen off, ended mining, closed roads, created wilderness etc. etc. They have run all the user groups that used to care for the desert away. So the waters that used to be kept open and operating are now abandoned and miles behind road closures. They used to be teaming with wildlife. Now all the biodiversity is just gone. Nothing lives there anymore. No quail, chukar, deer, sheep nothing. If you counted the tens of millions of insects, reptiles etc. the amount of death caused by "saving" it would be staggering.

I feel like this is what is happening to society through liberalism.

Associations are important but voting is paramount. I just wish there was someway to fix states like CA, AZ, CO, NV where the large cities have so much representation that they control everything.

My depressive rant for the day,

ML



Very well said, Mercer! So sad to see what goes on over there. Some kind of County voting is very necessary, not sure if it can ever be implemented though.
