After being born there (I'm a 4th generation Californio) and living all my life in Southern California, I retired 16 years ago and moved to SW Colorado. Love it.................. You can do it, just have to plan ahead to afford to do it.you guys think you have it bad Im in freaking California . I hate it here if I could Id move
But Garland has a long record, and, among other things, it leads to the conclusion that he would vote to reverse one of Justice Scalia’s most important opinions, D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms....National ReviewYes....they will definitely come over to my house and take away my guns, can you believe they want health care to be affordable for everyone. Oh, and it's absurd that they want equal rights for all US residents. And the icing on the cake is that they want to immediately address climate change and put more regulations in place to protection this hideous planet we live on. And to think, they wanted your children to go to college and make it almost completely free. Wow, hope we can dodge that bullet and get some guy from big money in there to keep those tax cuts for corporate America rolling and maybe do some fracking in downtown DC so there is more water and cheaper natural gas.
Sometimes the things we consider priorities are not priorities at all. We are a truly selfish country with mixed up priorities with no consideration for the welfare of our neighbors and fellow citizens.
I don't claim to support any candidate at this point, but blind hatred of a political party or candidate based on irrational fears and conservative hype is not healthy. For anyone.
that's funny, I heard he had small hands...Glad to hear you are not willing to let them throw the constitution in your face. That is the first tactic of transfer proponents. They try to intimidate us thinking we will not want to go against the constitution.
If that doesn't work they play the anti-fed card. That tactic has more impact because many of us are very unhappy with the federal government. But in my opinion we need to temper our anti-fed sentiment when it comes to public land management.
If the states get control, they won't be able to afford to manage millions of acres and will need to sell some of it. Here is a prime example from Oregon (see link below): Years ago the State of Oregon gained control of about 90,000 of federal land (now called the Elliot State Forest). Recently they discovered they can't afford to manage it. So they are offering it for sale.

This can and will happen throughout the west if federal lands are transferred to the states. Will it happen overnight? Probably not. But you can bet there will be a slow but steady trend in this direction, especially when the states get into a budget crunch.
By the way, I heard a rumor that Ted Cruz has arranged a deal to buy the Elliot State Forest for $1 per acre if he wins the presidency(This is a joke...for those of you who are not familiar with my sense of humor.)
Well said sir!Yes....they will definitely come over to my house and take away my guns, can you believe they want health care to be affordable for everyone.

I would think the state would do a better job managing public land. If it is that simple.The entire public lands issue is about States rights and sovereignty. That's probably why Cruz is for it. That would be constitutional. I'm very torn on the subject. I'm very libertarian, an Constitution minded. I have only two socialist things I like and mostly agree with. Public lands/parks and publicly held wildlife. The issue becomes who would manage it better. Each state or the feds?
80% of CO state lands are not open to the public. CA limits uses. So if you are very involved States would do better.I would think the state would do a better job managing public land. If it is that simple.
What's scary is how the elite have separated themselves so much from the average person.does it scare anyone how much Russia likes trump?
100% in agreementWhat's scary is how the elite have separated themselves so much from the average person.
Example Hilary, you tell me how many average Joe's would not already be locked up already for all the crap she's done?
Not saying Trump is the greatest, but I sure like that the political machine doesn't like him.
The political elites don't like Trump or Cruz.Not saying Trump is the greatest, but I sure like that the political machine doesn't like him.
i think we are screwed one way or anotherLooks like a bunch of bad choices for president. Can we get a do over?![]()
