I'm talking about timber administrators from the 1980s and 1990s. And I do and will blame them for being idiots, jack-holes, liars, drug addicts, and wife-beaters.
Yeah, I'm sure Revdisk is totally knowledgeable about range management
If charby is referring to my post on the first page, GOM, it has little to do with the alchematic dark arts of range management. All I know about range management is keep erosion under control, don't screw up the soil, be sure to use plenty of blood for invoking Great Old Ones and don't screw up water management. There's probably just the one oh one level course, which is exactly not what I was talking about in the previous post.
Dude was not being forced to graze cattle off his personal property. No one held a gun to his head, FORCING him to use public land for personal profit while not paying for it. Dude allegedly wracked up a million bucks in missing fees. On the other hand, you have allegedly a bunch of government land thugs that would better serve our country by working as door greeters at Walmart. Best is to allegedly pray for a meteorite, not cheer government thugs or folks that demand their welfare, er grazing rights.
Is the government wrong? From a statistics point of view, probably. In this matter? Definitely. They should have just went to court, got a judgment and put a lien on the guy's stuff. Proper way for the grazing entitement guy to do is get a bunch of his buddies together and maybe lobby for a better solution to the problem. Instead of you know, using public land for his own personal gain while shafting the taxpayers.
