Can you say "slippery slope"?

Grandpa used to say IF is a big word..........IF a buzzard had a radio up it's arse there'd be music in the air......IF.....but that don't mean squat!

Wow, those folks attending the meeting up there in Larimer county were sure lost on the property ownership concept.
Should have been a simple enough task to call the county attorney and ask a simple question.....we don't know if we own mineral rights to the park properties, should we be allowing gold panning/mineral sampling? Answer ..... Nope!

Or here's another view point we could present to anyone who thinks theft to be an "opportunity"? GADZOOKS!! That's a new way of thinking I guess but let's do a comparison......
For those type who think it ok to take others property.......since I or anyone else do not know for certain who owns the "property" laying around thier house/land, then it should be completely acceptable in their world for anyone passing by to take stuff off their property since "we don't know who owns it"........SAME EXACT THING!
Personally I would not suggest anyone do anything of that nature myself......you might end up in jail, shot and or dead! That's stealing!! You don't know who owns it, then you do know for a fact that you DO NOT OWN IT! So where did the "okey dokey" come in?

Lack of knowledge is no excuse! Especially when they're getting paid to in fact know.

Yep it'd be interesting know who does actually own the mineral rights and if they are aware of the current county stance, there could be a clause in the donation of the private lands to be used for open space that the county in fact reserve those minerals for the land owner as part of the agreement. IF that were to be the case, then the county could be in breach of contract and potentially lose the park lands use by the owner.......over panning, wouldn't that be a sad message to put forth?!

I can see more to this in the future.....just skip over the actual facts for what's wanted? Yea, probably not over yet unfortunately and could get even crazier?!
