Again, I ask you where?  My county is 92% federal land.  Many western
counties have similarly high percentages.  That's where the grazing is,
that's where the timber is, and that's where the minerals are. 
Furthermore, once again, logging and grazing, properly regulated, are our
best defenses against devastation by fire, as they control the fuels. 
Symbiosis between activities is best for ALL of us.
