>>1088684>returned to the peoplefaggot it would be "returned" so that someone could run a fence around it, rape it for a short-term profit, and keep you from ever setting eyes on it again
on top of that the "returned" land would be taxed by the states (which is somehow more "the people" than feds, despite their common mission to not give a fuck about you) in perpetuity
as of now federal lands ARE in the possession of the people by the very fact that any old Tom Dick or Harry can walk in there, pitch a tent, literally shit in the soil, and then climb all over the mountain and scream from the top.
your fantastic vision of the future is a conga line of cars driving on a new highway past a brick-and-mortar wall surrounding big dumb stucco housing developments and open pit mines that we have no right to touch
