Two little words back in circulation


I'm getting very emotional about this business in Nevada -- because it our side really wins long-term, it's a revival of the real, classic America that we mostly don't even dare believe actually happened way back when.

Nevada range fight revives 'Sagebrush Rebellion'

The writer of this piece shares my concern. Subheading: "The federal Bureau of Land Management returned a Nevada rancher’s cattle, avoiding a potentially dangerous confrontation. But the legal fight over grazing fees continues."

The Sagebrush Rebellion was a wave of similar resistance out west 20 years ago. It was totally hot at the time, but then went the way of all rebellions in this country -- it fizzled as working, ranching people came to realize there was no strong support from among the sheeple.

I think the people are madder now, God bless 'em -- but only time will tell. If we are now serious, the peaceful resolution of the present situation could, who knows, well, maybe serve as the pattern for all further incidents.
