Hi, I'm this dude. I invite anyone here to read or listen to the book. It's points are valid regardless of where the author hails from.
It seems our binary red, blue, right, wrong, 0's, 1's, attitudes has forced us into an echo chamber where the only good ideas are the ideas come from those we agree with. I would contend a well rounded perspective includes examining and maybe even considering the validity of ideas that at first glance I may not even agree with.
Now, back to my original point. The book deserves time and consideration.
The author makes solid points regarding public land grazing, the land transfer crowd, the lack of enforcement by the BLM, and environmental considerations that anyone who is interested in the habitat, should take seriously.
Here's the real kicker, I'm a conservative. But I'm also not so insentient on being correct that I can't take the time to consider others idea that at first glance, I may not agree with.
Now, if you want go burn all the books you don't agree with, be my guest.
