Just read an article posted in the New York Times regarding
the future of our public lands. Apparently they (the Gov) are
considering selling off public lands...

"Last week, the United States Senate voted 51 to 49 to support an amendment
to a nonbinding budget resolution to sell or give away all federal lands other than
the national parks and monuments."


Rest of the article is here:

If this actually happens, we are going to be no more than a relic
of the past era.
