Are you saying the article is factually inaccurate, intentionally misleading, or exposing a lot of bullshit? Not sure how to interpret that.

Unfortunately, looking at Tester's voting record I'm more worried about boys playing against my daughter in sports (and several other issues) than this issue....... It's too bad the left, even though helping our public land cause more, has gone so extreme on issues that affect my kid's future. No way in h*ll will I be voting to let Tester continue his far-left voting record.

Where their opinion applies matters a lot more than their opinion on a topic. School board, state legislators/judges/exec will all make a way larger difference in those kind of issues. Much like abortion or other third rail political topics.

Also worth considering what is up or down stream in the checks and balances? For example - Busse tries to ban AR15s in the state of MT. I think my odds of drawing 2 supertags might be better than him getting legislation to sign - let alons the courts maintaining that kind of law.

As a grandparent I watch and keep track of Montana sports. That ain't happening! (I challenge anyone to cite one example in Montana high school sports or even in high school or college sports across the West.) If men or boys playing against girls is a major factor in this political era relative to so many real issues ... and especially public lands issues, then too much koolaid is being ingested.
There are legitimate transgender related issues, but that one is an emotional red herring, Dad. Likely many of those "several other issues" are as well.

Public land access and ownership in the Crazies is a big deal right now, today, currently, at this point in public lands history with you having a voice, particularly with something on the cusp of happening. So support for the right choices is critical.

Ya did it; ya got me! It's time to start wringing our hands and pulling our hair ... as well as a two billion dollar gender verification bill to ascertain the birth sex of any girl's volleyball team. And we better ensure that talented girl place kicker doesn't get a chance to play football with the guys.

This sex based conundrum is outa hand!

Nice lib response. With one example I easily prove that you’re full of shit and your answer is to tell me that I’m stupid and throw Karen-like hypothetical ridiculous scenarios….

As to the point of this whole thread, the land swap, I’ve read through as much of the non-biased documentation that I can find, it looks to me like the public gains way more than they give, and currently nonexistent access will be solidified and that private land owners will pay the majority of the costs. I suppose that’s not good enough for BHA and others, but, I fail to see how this is a horrible deal.

Recenly a new book came out, entitled The Crazies: The Cattleman, the Wind Prospector, and A War Out West. It's the story of ranchers whose land has been in the family for 150 years and whose next generations want to keep the land by continuing cattle, sheep, and ag production. In order to make ends meet they have worked on a plan for years to have wind farms augment income. The neighboring uber wealthy nonresident landowners of Crazy Mountains land have opposed the plan and sued. Montana PSC, as well as Northwestern Energy, has thrown up roadblocks. It is a debacle of frustration for Montana hard working hands-on-the-lands families, seemingly being bullied by rich and powerful entities from elsewhere who are buying up the Crazies and other Montana treasured land at an unbelievable and deplorable rate. The colorful, yet sad story makes Costner's Yellowstone seem like a nursery story.
Reality is a bitch nowadays in the Montana Treasure State!
