You want one? I mean, it's been a couple of years, but
I suppose that I could throw one together *just* for you.

                      Texas:


              I read your post and it's link. I concluded it is nothing but 
ideological land rights trolling in contempt of the Trail and its purpose.


              If you could phrase something that:

           1)  Showed respect for the Trail's purpose in some way other than 
a perverted land rights prism through which all things must pass.

           2)   Were able to argue a sensible Trail viewpoint other than 
extreme interpretations of land rights dogma. 

           3)   Realized how that perspective was part of what threatens the 
AT without reacting to it in a purely political, but completely AT-devoid way.

           4)     Realized land rights and property turn over isn't God. 

           5)   Could articulate the inherent environmental value of 
preserved AT lands.

           6)    Registered a sense of morality towards craven speculation 
over critical preservation grounds. 

           7)   Admitted your theoretical land rights based acquisition plan 
is impossible and would discover so only after chewing up all available open 
space.

           8)    Confess that pure land rights arguments are a ruse to paint 
conservationists as misoriented leftists while the land is being eaten up 
figuring it out.

           8)  (I know I don't like flaming but) Put down the land rights 
pipe and smell the destruction.



              I thank you for your response because it shows us the real 
'insanity' being faced here.
