Happy New Year.
This stuff makes from some strange temporary political partners. Sometimes personal issues overtake longterm logic : like Rush apparently giving money to HSUS.
Happy New Year to you, too, George. I committed an error in my comment. ...didn’t mean to say that more Republicans than Democrats are in favor of radical environmentalism or animal worship. The intended meaning was that this County has a Republican majority by far while supporting those efforts against private property rights and other rights.
Agreed on your reply about “strange temporary political partners” and “personal issues.” Many homeowners and businesses now want to control all of the lands that they see and to “keep the riff-raff off of the Range.” Some call it the “First Settler Syndrome.”
Environmentalism and animal worship advocacy are ways of keeping men from coming up the hill to work in mining and to keep most others from using their own properties in order to increase their own wealth and probably to divert potential buyer traffic to particular developments of real estate—wrongful and illegitimate means of business competition.
Some of the foreclosures in progress and foreclosures in the near future seem to be getting some of the worst of them out of here. Unfortunately, some of the good folks will be going out with the bad, though. We probably won’t see relief from the business-government regulation ties, unless governments default. Sadly, most of the constituents in favor of limiting any new development to limousine liberals from big liberal cities are government and business retirees.
