I think the bottom line is this: The Federal govt. is a huge bloated monster.
It really has no business owning 28% of the land in this country.
It's nothing more than a land grab by the rich and powerful. And they justify it by claiming they are "protecting" it from...the rich and powerful.
And what exacty are they protecting it for? A place to hide nukes? A place to park 100,000 unused tanks that are rusting away in the desert?
Or is all just to have nice beautiful picture perfect land for people to admire...that is IF people are even "allowed" on the property.
Doesn't sound like "This land is my land, this land is your land" as it says in the song.
