That phrase "land grab" is clever and strategic, and they all use it; the big mean government is stealing land away from all us little people. In reality, the opposite is true of course. That land belongs to all of us, instead of being parceled out for resource extraction or private development.

I cherish our wide open spaces. Except for individuals who stand to make a profit, I can't understand why anyone, liberal or conservative, would want to make them smaller.
