One quick thought before the lock. Make no mistake I love, absolutely love, a good conspiracy fact....er...I mean theory. I do suspect however, that not every single official in DC or the administration is all in on a grand plan to privatize wildlife or take our public lands (though some most assuredly are). I truly believe that in many cases officials are just ignorant of the nuances surrounding this issue, and I expect many would be open to listening, perhaps having conversations with people with large platforms who are passionate advocates for our public lands. Maybe if we are intentional about making an attempt to have these conversations we might actually get somewhere. I thought the opening post to this thread was very well written and I tend to agree, it's going to be ok, the world is not ending just yet. Rest assured if the events of November had gone the other way we would still be fighting for our way of life, just in different battles. So let's keep working and finding solutions, regardless of the circumstances we're faced with.
