Several things wrong with this little setup:
did we the people get to make any input on this? nope
Yellowstone is setting up the buffer zone as suggested by the U.N. , caused a mine to be shut down, owner-operater had a chance to recover over 650 million in gold he got bought of with 65 million 25 million he has to use for clean-up.
Is the clean up a good idea, most likely it is. Is having the U.N. direct what goes on in OUR national park a good idea no damn way.
You like your independance or you don't not much room for a gray area here.
The U.N. wants Yellowstone to become a scientific study area and severly restricting the area and access to it, that pisses me off! It's our national park not the gawd damn U.N.'s
The mine situation suggests what will happen to personal propert if it's in an area that gets designated a Biosphere, even with eminate domain you get fair market value, the owners of the mine so to speak got shafted!
Guess Woody Guthery (sp?) was wrong when he penned This land is our land, he couldn't have seen this coming and most folks standing around saying oh yeah this is a good thing!
Most of this has been done be executive order which by-passes congress and therefore you dont have any say, exactly how the folks in Utah lost one of their coal areas. Excutive orders themselves are suspect, Preseidents weren't every supposed to have powers this broad just for this very reason, laws were to be takin care of by the judicial, now we have our Presidents "Inviting" the U.N. into our presence to help us out! Sweet Jesus how many gawd damn agencys we have to take care of this sort of thing and now we need the U.N.? You mean to tell me a country that has accomplished what we have in 200 yrs. needs the U.N. to "make suggestions" as to how we handle our National Parks?
You see it as a good idea, I don't things were going just fine, therefore we don't need the U.N. involved unless of course they really do control all that happens in America and we don't have any say, as the situation stands it appears that is exactly what is happening and it starts quietly in little bits and pieces until we're at a point we're just left with our mouth open wondering what happened! We donnn need no stinking Biospheres!
Hand the U.N. their collective baggage and kick em the hell outta here, let em go set up shop somewhere else and lets keep our freedom and independence and decide our own fate!
What thinkest the rest of you?
