JON MARVEL: "I want to destabilize the system we've
got now, where 20 percent of ranchers in Idaho use public lands
they've degraded or destroyed. I think my response is reasonable -
I'm reacting to large-scale abuse by a tiny group of
people.
"The mythology that's
grown up around ranching is a frozen world, a violent subculture,
really, based on threats and intimidation. I think of myself as a
truth-sayer, and what can be gained from hearing the truth is a
lifting of the yoke of that
oppression.
"Ranching won't
end even if public-land ranching does. But opening up the
permitting process will bring back competition and protect our land
from abuse. It's time to bring (ranchers) down a few notches."
" Betsy
