I've been hearing about this for some time, thanks for the details. Yes, it is unlawful and not American for the Feds to own 1/3 of our land. I wish the western states had more foresight like Arkansas. Back when the Feds were establishing all the first parks and monuments, they turned all their potential sights into state parks, effectively blocking the Feds. My family and I are National Park junkies. There are to many parks with way more land then is necessary. Not to mention the amount completely uninteresting places.
FARGING BASTEGES!
