Except he doesn't. By his own admission, he decided, after paying for years, that he shouldn't have to pay, and quit paying. I have no problem with this being addressed, and addressing the illegals. One doesn't have to preclude the other. And this is no different from renting from private land, if you quit paying rent, you get evicted. You refuse to leave after being evicted and they call the sheriff to remove you . . . [ram27bat]

pedro,

He's just another taker sucking off the government teat. If the guy was some homeless person squatting in National Forest Service campground refusing to pay the daily fee, I'm sure the same people outraged that the Govt would be forcibly evicting the rancher would be enthusiastically supporting the other side of the argument.

Another taker....pffft you F'n wish you worked as hard as these folks do. And after all, who the hell Isn't tired of the Feds sucking us dry and squandering it??? But ya side with that big Ole Federal Government that doesn't give one **** about ANY of us. Oh and I'm not bothered by the squatter either, but there'd prolly end up being a small village next ya know..

Which one?

Tragedy of the Commons (for those of you who never took economic theory):

"In 1833 William Forster Lloyd published a pamphlet on herders sharing a common parcel of land on which they are each entitled to let their cows graze. In English villages (as with mountain countries in Europe), shepherds had sometimes grazed their sheep in common areas, and sheep ate grass more severely than cows. Overgrazing could result because for each additional sheep, a herder could receive benefits, while the group shared damage to the commons. If all herders made this individually rational economic decision, the common could be depleted or even destroyed, to the detriment of all."

Honeslty, this dipsh*t hasn't been paying for 21 years of use, for all I care, they can use his cattle for artillery targets at this point.

They already have . . .

Then what's the problem?

Do we get to eat them?
