what i get from yeti's post is that "individuals," making decisions based on that marvelous quality, character ... really do shape the course of history ... and history is huge as to the current set of facts on the ground.

i've been watching this play out since bush vs. gore. one guy holds the door for others as a matter of habit, another walks thru cuz he's no chump.

for this we got neocon adventurism, and climate change denial as policy

i'll attempt redemption with a subsequent, on topic post

“Real ranchers” equals “welfare ranchers.” 94 % of grazing fees on BLM land are paid by “you” the American taxpayer and you are most likely to live in an urban area. Ranchers love to sit around with their weak morning coffee in rural cafes badmouthing city folk, welfare mothers and big government...a nasty bunch of ignorant hypocrites.

As usual, Donini calls it like it is. Ed Abbey called 'real' ranchers 'welfare parasites.' Check this: http://www.angelfire.com/mi/smilinks/environment.html

@BraveCowboy say: hermit master obviously does not often need to acquire drinking water from the same sources that the cattle are stamping into cowpie muckpits. maybe city folks are just silk-tummied lilywhites, wanting good water left relatively good, but then....

Hmmmm, where does San Fransisco get its water, I wonder?
