I wish environmentalists would do something useful. Like get a job on a road-building crew. An honest days work for an honest day's pay. That's what they need to experience.

Quite a few years ago in Colorado, many 4WD roads were closed because of irresponsible drivers. If opening the forest to road construction brings back the mass wasting of pristine forest, then I say keep them closed.

Most of the roads closed as part of the RAOR were so lightly travelled to begin with that they were defacto hiking and riding trails. All RAOR did was impoverish the people living in the remotest areas of the country.

Don't just build roads. Parcell it out and sell it off. There's no constitutional authority for owning natioanl forests (AFAIK). BEsides the money's made by selling the lands could balance the budget and pay off the debt.

Alternately, but not as favored, start logging all the national forests. Those trees are worth money and we could use the cash to pay off the debt or to reduce taxes.
