They won't though, the old adage of more cows than people has long since died. Hartfor once had 30 heards and now its down to 1. Same with woodstock, Windsor, Hatland, Norwich, Sharon, Promfret, Strafford, Tumbridge.

Without getting too weepy I wish some of you could see the state the way it was even 30 years ago. People at like it'd a paradise now but they never saw it back then.

If that's the way a simpleton like you can grasp the concept, then yes, they need to sweer the forest floor.

You have two choices. Logging and land management conservation working together or uncontrollable wildfires forever. Even the Natives new this 1,000 years ago. Then again, the natives didn't need to cause drought with pot and almond farms.

That's ok, "all's fair... " - nobody has natural birthright to land. But it's also normal for creatures to fear for, and defend, their dens. "Right" and "wrong" doesn't fit. And NJ? If it turns into that kind of hellhole .... well --- we might as well stick around and 'sow the earth' for sport! 😀 *

My apartment failed inspection (of course, it's a VT rental so it's a dump). I am a single person with no kids making well over $60k per year, and when I get booted out of this place I'll be looking for a job in another state. Makes more sense than looking for another overpriced dump here.

It's also a population that wants no part of integrating into American society (assuming you are talking about Somalis). All the other immigrant groups, including those from other African countries seem at least somewhat interested in being good neighbors and getting along. The Somalis, not so much.

Most photos need to be "edited." Photographers use the RAW file format. RAW files come out of camera flat and lifeless, and color needs to be corrected (it may not have been, in this case) and contrast added. The learning curve for processing is much steeper than shooting.
