quote [ Gold Butte, roughly the size of Los Angeles County, is basically lawless right now. Trash is dumped here and there. Some of the BLM's route markers are torn down. Illegal off-road tracks from ATVs lead into the desert. Some pioneer gravesites were even dug up, bones scattered everywhere. ]
This is what happens when public lands are basically relinquished to outlaws. This is why those fuckers in Oregon must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

It's odd that in this modern age, so many actors on the world stage seem to be motivated not by cold logic or even self interest, but by conceited superstition or ideology. Whether it's ISIS or Bundy or whoever. Sort of the opposite of the 'perfect knowledge' that libertarianism presupposes. Resources of time, manpower and money that you would expect to be spent wisely are squandered selfishly.
Or perhaps that's just how it seems from media coverage. Maybe there are statistics somewhere that show that mankind is actually more logical than ever before. I don't know.
