Howler,

You should check out some of the houses owned by cotton and sugar planters down south who benefit from subsidies. Of course that's not true for everybody, but like i said there can sometimes be a fine line between giving people a hand and giving them a free ride.

the program you describe sounds like South Dakota's. Like i said before, if everyone lives within a short distance of large tracts of public access land, then a lot of these problems will disappear overnight.
