  1. Wyo Native says:

    The Republicans are not the only blame for this bill being removed for consideration.

    Six Democrats flat out voted against it and there were another 10 that voted to move the bill forward, but they said they would not support the final bill if it looked like the one that was on the Senate floor yesterday.

‎"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."

~ Edward Abbey
