Rebellion Against the BLM is a Recurring Theme for 2014

   The Year 2013, the year of the uprisings against the Bureau of Land Management.
   There was that uprising by Cliven Bundy in Nevada, with militia members coming to his aid as the federals backed down and returned his cattle, even though he owed a good $1 million in grazing fees. Then, there is a lawsuit against the BLM for not managing its wild horses. And, some ranchers are suggesting they might reduce the number of wild horses on their own if the federal government doesn't. (I read in the Trib that the BLM has decided it will reduce the number of horses.) Oh, and then there is that San Juan County commissioner, Phil Lyman, who is preparing to make an illegal ATV ride May 10 through Recapture Canyon. They're already threatening to round him up and toss him in jail if he tries it.
   Rebellion against the BLM is becoming a recurring theme for 2014.
