    I heard a rumor today that “big oil” has recently made a very large contribution to the National Cattlemen’s Association, presumably to get the ranchers to shut up about drilling on the range, among other things. I haven’t been able to confirm it anywhere. Has anyone heard anything about this, or might it be a baseless rumor?

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."
