					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Radical despair is, of course, nothing new; philosophers and scientists and intellectuals and religious figures have been predicting mankind&#039;s inability to exist in harmony with the planet, and the ruination this will cause, for centuries. From Malthus to Ehrlich to Mann, doomsday has never lacked for prophets.&quot;

btw, k9DEAN, government land should be give to the people
and not held for little reason by the bureaucracy.  Of course,
this simple Marxist logic did not occur to you.

Does anyone want my membership for the Club of Romana?]]></description>

No, your comment is stupid because you don&#039;t have any rational reason for it -- but you&#039;ve never made a rational argument for anything, so that isn&#039;t a surprise. It seems simply spouting libertarian bullshit is enough for you. 

Equally stupid: assuming that when rational people call out your stupidity and behavior means that those people are socialists. 
a) There is no reason to believe that&#039;s true
b) Baseless accusations are your specialty
c) You&#039;ve never given any indication you&#039;d understand the definition of socialist 

I don&#039;t know why this land is owned by the government, so can&#039;t make any statement. You&#039;d need to look at the original reasons, determine what benefit results from keeping it from development, etc, to begin to make a reasoned argument. 

The assessment of your latest statement (and all your others) stands.]]></description>

Billy, I&#039;m not gaslighting anyone, but thanks for the link.

Two facts you are ignoring, one of which I suspect you know, the other not.

1) Mining of all kinds in all places is based on the business model of going in, getting the minerals, and getting out with minimal liability.

2) This particular area, in the Boundary waters, is a wild and environmentally sensitive area. It was already set aside for preservation. Nobody should be building anything here, let alone a mine.]]></description>
