Here I am out riding on my ranch, a typical westerner. Well it's about 700-million acres, and the funny thing is it's your ranch too, if you're an American citizen. The ranch is the U.S. public lands, our great national commons.
Trouble is there are a lot folks around who want to steal our land. . .
My goals are different. I want to put a few more wolves and grizzly bears on the ranch and run a few less cattle. Some folks say that's perverse. Maybe it's because like most westerners my ranch house and my job are in the city. Our family spent some time in Rexburg, Idaho, where my father coached at Ricks College.
