You can call me a wacko crybaby bedwetter (but I know one of those
hasn't has been true for about fifty years).....

Bush does support privatization of public lands and managing them in
terms of their "highest and best use", as do a growing number of
Republican Congressmen (and probably some Democrats although I'm not
aware of
any). This is an issue that's VERY important to me and it's something
that I try and follow. This has been a growing political position over
the last ten years or so. However, the data shows that a large majority
of Americans oppose it, so it's not a position that is being campaigned
on. This means that you have to do some searching in order to find out
which of our representatives are in favor of this method of "managing"
our public lands.

I DON'T want our public lands run on the basis of "best and highest use"
(which means - how they can be used to generate the most possible income).
I DON'T want our public lands sold off to the highest bidder. I DON'T want
our National Parks run by corporations whose goal is solely to make as much
money as possible out of them. etc etc etc
