40. You don't bother to read anything before you spew forth. I already said I agree on Vermejo Park

Ranch and its long history that should have been rectified long ago. I do believe it was the states of NM, CO and the Federal government specifically who should have done so, but nonetheless...

And you don't damned well get to tell ANYONE here to STOP posting. Take your own advice but I don't tolerate bullying by you or anyone--especially since you refuse to read my or others' comments before wrongly posting your own derisive and simplistic take. Turner has altruistic efforts in at least 8 other states that will live on beyond Vermejo Park and its sad history that he was not able or did not try to rectify. Ignore those efforts as you will. As I stated earlier I would doubt that YOU (or anyone else) would want to be remembered for one action you took in your life that could rightly be criticized as opposed to a lifetime of good.
