Why does an uninformed poster accuse another of naivete when they haven’t bothered to dig out the facts or research the issue?

Suppose that the federal government gave Nevada control of most federal land. How would that make things better? What will Nevada do that will make things better?

I just don’t see the issue as one of handing over federal land to Nevada. I see the issue as strengthening rights and having respect for ranchers and farmers. Whether the land is controlled by the federal government or the state government matters not. What matters is preservation of a way of life around and on those lands.

Some think these ranchers are terrorists. I don’t see them that way at all. And because Donald Trump says he won’t give land to the state because he doesn’t know what they will do with it has nothing to do with rights and respect of ranchers. They are two separate issues.

What’s at issue is policy of the Bureau of Land Management towards ranchers. That’s the issue. So why devote a thread to a non-issue?

Donald Trump did make statements on the issue of the ranchers. He said first and foremost the rule of law must be respected. I agree with that. He also said it appeared that federal policies of land management were not in line with economic opportunity and growth for surrounding people. Yes, he said that.

So just what is the problem here? And just who is naive? Who is uninformed? It’s not me.
