The War on Drugs has been threatening the fundamental rights of ordinary Americans, and greatly impinging upon states rights, as agencies like the DEA continue to claim State resistance to this type of federal intrusion has been extremely limited. However, in the case of this section of highway through Utah along I-15 (clearly inland), the Beaver County Sheriff seems to be listening to the public outcry over privacy violations and has decided to halt the plan immediately, while the Washington Country Sheriff has requested additional information.

This is certainly positive news, as it demonstrates the power of activism and the ability to get results at the local level. However, we need to be ever vigilant against duplicitous federal agencies.
Like I said... take an upper level ecology course.
Before the wolves were re-introduced, the elk population was ramped...The wolves manage elk population, thus keeping Yellowstone as beautiful as it is.
They have NOT been a threat to humans at all. Bears are more of a threat than wolves... are you serious?
What cattle exactly? I didn't realize farmers owned Federal land in Yellowstone...
I swear... people need education... it's why this world is going to crap!

I've been hollering about this for a good number of years. No one listens. No one believes that what they're doing when they sign all those applications with government is waiving their rights in exchange for privileges that can be revoked or altered at any time during the contract ~ which is forever.

That is because people generally trust others too much. It seems only the really paranoid guys on conspiracy sites look into this stuff so I can understand why people are ignorant of it. lol
The fact is we are human beings without much frree time to look into the details. We want conveniences but you sacrifice something (certain freedom) for the security that government may give you by doing everything for you.
Just like as a little kid you were not allowed to do things the adults could do yet until you were mature enough to take some responsibility for any actions that led to the damage of other people and honored your promise to pay back for the harm or loss of property to the harmed individual. Little kids don't have to pay bills or negotiate with the person they hurt because they are too young to understand it.
Today's people don't want responsibility though. That is why goernment acts like the parent to them, If more people had a long attention span, and had an interest in this subject maybe there would not be so much confusion and need for meetings. Everyone would just know it. I think that is why warnings from past presidents went unheeded.
