Then you are foolish. What you say is that you don't think you have the authority to make up your own mind, and so delegate that job to people who are motivated to lie to you, and to grant themselves more power. What the CONSTITUTION says is that the feds HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO OWN land outside a few very specific situations...that is, ports, forts, territories (and the west is no longer a territory) and 10 sq miles of DC. They do not have the authority to dictate to people how they can USE their own land...anymore than they can harass and intimidate people into selling them property as "public lands" which they then ban the public from using. Furthermore, any laws made to the contrary are UNCONSTITUTIONAL and therefore illegal.
