Cliven Bundy

[hedgehog]

This land is productive because of mr bundys family. They have fenced it, put up corrals and a homestead , barns etc.
The govt or anyone else has no right to charge rent on something they havent provided.

[perfecho]

Just saying.....so those raised in a welfare state should remain that way?

[perfecho]

That comment was to some of the above posters...not the Bundy story....I don't know the whole story and probably never will.....

Not to sure on all the specifics of this story,i think he
wants to pay his fees to the state of nevada bla bla
dont know.

But the point is underneath it all there are fault lines
of MAJOR discontent.

How americans view themselves is not how we view
them,they would have no problem calling the whole
thing off and we could EASILY see the most powerful
nation on the planet breaking up into 5-6 regions.

I think its fascinating ,but most canucks don't
know/dont care.

What a world we would have if we were all like
him. She'd be a battle.

The self interest people or groups should
remember the whole is greater than the sum of its
parts. Right Quebec? Maybe thats assuming all
parts are of equal value, monetarily and socially,
and treated as such.

I have not yet watched the video, but I hope it mentions that Nevada Congressman Harry Reid's son has a partnership with a Chinese firm to build a $5,000,000,000 solar farm on the disputed land.

THAT is the real reason for the expropriation.

[Happytrails]

Good point burnt. It is good to see that quite a few of us favor the side that harvests food over the turtle counters.

[cottonpicken]

Heard arizona state legislate just went on the
offensive,nevada governor to,along with a 1000 plus
on site.

This isn't hippies ands feds like occupy wall street,its
cowboys and feds,get the popcorn,the cowboys aint
backing down,i dont think the feds will either.

If you see a few dozen cowboys mowed down it will
be on like donkey kong.
