 the 'see all, know all' of anything including management of the free 
 roaming horses.  An interesting example is what happened this past 
 week-end.  30+ of these horses were running on private land near and 
 crossing a major highway.  A group of private individuals assisted by the 
 STATE range manager rounded up this group and transported them to a safer, 
 friendlier environment where there is plenty of feed and water.  We have 
 many of these critters around our own place and I take exception to the 
 statement that these animals are target practice unless supervised by our 
 big brother in D.C.  If the feds had acted on the aforementioned example, 
 these animals would have been transported to holding pens for 
 adoption.  >>

Good post, Sharon.  In most cases, government at a more local level is far 
more efficient and far less oppressive.  Sure wish we could get more state 
management of public lands, too!
