This type of thing has been going on for a long time. Back in the early 90's I was park ranger at Independence NHP and one morning I came into work to find all of the copper downspouts had been stolen. The Second National Bank had some beautiful rectangular downspouts that were taken right off the building.

It's also why Pennsylvania has so many great rail trails today.

I'm all for private ownership of property. But you don't own the deer or fish that travel through your property. You can't hunt on your own property without a license. Unless you have mineral rights you don't own the coal or natural gas that is under your property. Anyone can fly an aircraft over your property.

Because they are stupid, probably. Loggers need permits to cut trees on state land.

The natural resources belong to all of us. That's why hunters and trappers have to pay for a license. It's why someone needs a license to fish in the waters of Pennsylvania. They are paying for the right to fish and game that belong to all of the residents of Pennsylvania. The waterways of Pennsylvania belong to all of us, so if someone wants to boat, the boat has to be registered.

I can choose to patronize a number of restaurants, but they can only get the natural gas from under us. Pennsylvania is a commonwealth which should mean we all own that natural gas and should profit from its extraction. The residents of Alaska get a check every year from the Permanent Dividend Fund for the extraction of their natural resources.

Which was an actual pet store back in the day. It was still in business in 1990 or so.

The two Pennsylvanians I'm most interested in are Riley Williams and Rachel Powell. They have both repeatedly violated the terms of their pretrial release and yet they still avoid jail.

There are a couple of decent places in Franklin. Oil City could step up their game though.
