    Just an Idea

    Just thinking about all the nonsense going on with the pipeline and such, and I had an Idea.

    I am wondering why those states affected can't demand their lands back from the Federal Government. There should be no "Federal Lands" withing the boundaries of a State. The people of that state own the land. The states should take their lands back and then do with them what they deem best for their people. Why does the Federal Government need to own any land?

    Just some random thoughts about all this.

    But what about our beautiful national parks? Yosemite, Yellowstone, Everglades, Grand Canyon? I'd rather have those lands federally protected so that states can't decide to get rid of them. Many of our national parks are treasures. I'd hate to see what a democrat governor like Whitmer would do if she could control that land. I don't think any of us would like that. I'm not saying that she would, but she is incredibly controlling and narcissistic.

    They could be ran by the states. Most folks would rather have jobs than parks if they had to choose.

    a) The parks create jobs
    b) I have travelled so many times through a lot of State and National Parks. I enjoy so much to see how wonderful some landscapes are created by God. Without protection a lot would already been gone just for the sake of money
    c) what exactly is the problem of federal land? I have never thought about this issue

    The problem with federal land is exactly what is happening out west. The feds shut down the pipeline and killed thousands of jobs. If the states ran their own parks, there would still be jobs running those parks. They would be state jobs instead of federal jobs.
    Our founding fathers never intended for the federal government to have so much power over the states.
