Wild Horses

How did this vast land come to be? What was before people? What created the bread basket of the world? The great eastern forests? The diversity? What mammal competed with the dinosaurs and eventually prevailed? Is the greatest social animal of all time? Is the living symbol of freedom? Is one with nature? Can adjust to any environment? Can restore a broken land by bringing insects, birds, predictors, finds water for the others and causes restoration? Was eaten to extinction on this continent and returned to conquer those who failed to realize what they were till they also learned, then went on to build this place. God if anything on this planet is meant to be wild and free it is the horse. I give thanks for it and vote let it be. It’s the future.

We are sailing on a ship of fools across a great universe. The first class passengers are calling for more speed, more stuff, more money, more, more, more. While we shovel the coal day in and day out into the furnaces as they grow hotter and hotter and some warn they will overheat. BUT before they do the coal runs low, the deck chairs must be burned still we hear more, more. The cabins burned, furniture, and finally the life boats till the ship stalls adrift, no food no water. The greedy few are banished but it doesn't matter for a storm is coming. The ship founders it can only support a few. There is mutiny, mayhem. If only we stoped the greed, turned off the boilers, set sail, landed on an island. There is no magic bullet, capitalism is fueled by energy and is entering its death throws. The planet can only support 1 billion of us without oil. ARE YOU READY?

Reading so many oppinions as how to MANAGE the "Wild Horse Problem" either by slaughter, captive holding, introducing preditors to their land, sterilastion, hunting, seems everyone knows best. May I suggest we turn the humans into Soylent Green and feed all the horses and let them breed till they displace the rest of us.

Managed to death. horses and mankind

Everyone has heard of the “bread basket of the world” Our Great Plains were once inhabited by the great herbivores and their predictors. Horses ripping the barks off the forests trampling the land bringing insects, birds and meat eaters. Ultimately creating the most fertile land on earth. So lets manage them so we can decide what works best. Oil pipelines, drilling, development We are desperate and dependent on oil yet 100 years ago we had no oil and horses 100 years from now we will have no oil or horses. BELIEVE it. There is nothing that will replace oil except a life style as it was before oil. Thanks BLM for ending human existence. Then maybe the few horses left can again breed in vast numbers and remake the land as they once did.

Nitro has an infection in his knee. Seems he might have been kicked by the pony. He's in a lot of pain and generally likes to rest his head on my shoulder to help take weight off it.

Past, present, future

Capitalism is dependent on energy, can’t have one without the other. BUT once it takes one barrel of oil to get one barrel of oil it’s over. We’re drilling 5 miles deep in the Gulf of Mexico and fouling the west for a reason the survival of this system. YET sooner or later it will take one barrel to get one barrel. Then what? There is NO magic bullet. 100 years ago we had no oil and horses. 100 years from now we will have no oil or horses. Part of the future will be found in the past before oil, unfortunately getting there will be much tougher then getting here. We may have to carry the load on our backs.

CEO'S

NO CEO can report a loss to the shareholders due to the corporations responsibility to clean its environmental mess. NO, the CEO must report a profit even if it must let loose cancer causing agents on the citizens. It succeeds by buying the politicians, and public opinion by playing off the environment against economic growth. We have traded our health and wellbeing so shareholders can earn a profit on money most of us don't have in the first place. In the end man made cancer dose level the playing field.

Horse Training

For some the death of a cow brings a profit so the death of a horse becomes insignificant in the process. Death brings profit. Armies scourge the world to gather profit. The world is consumed from the top of the mountains to the depths of the oceans for profit. Our entire culture is profit based. Every judge protects capital, every politician echos the words JOBS and GROWTH. Profit trumps all. Even Wild Mustangs reap millions in profit for some. BUT why is it though that someones right to profit always wins out over our right to a soul?

Horses and girls

Ever notice how horses and girls go together?

Disaster after disaster

Capitalism is totally dependant on energy and may be in
its death throes as it runs out, the consequence is disaster after disaster as
corporations scramble to produce more energy to fuel the beast.

Springtime Commeth

After one of the coldest, snowiest, and hardest winters, dealing with eviction, moving 40 rescues in subzero weather we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The horses are all fit and safe and ready to work teaching the kids, going on trail rides and just eating grass. There is a lot of work left to do but today Nitro began shedding. Time to dust off his saddle.

Bill Evicted Again

His ancestors once roamed the Americas millions of years before man, the oceans their only boundaries. When men arrived they were almost hunted to extinction but some escaped into Asia and Europe across the land bridge, there people learned to partner with them and they came back in the bellies of ships. They helped build this place plowing our fields, moving our goods and fighting our wars, even one granting Freedom for all. Once no longer needed they were used for dog food but again a few escaped that fate thanks to the American people and one of the biggest letter writing campaigns ever caused President Nixon to grant them their freedom and set aside public lands for them. Unfortunately the BLM is now rounding them up again and only a few remain. Bill was taken as a yearling, branded, gelded and found his way to Connecticut as a pony for a little girl that soon out grew him. He was sold, bought and sold again. we found him at a camp tied to a post on a hot summer day saddled with no water destined for the auction. He is one of the smartest and toughest horses we have and he's naturally gated and one of the most comfortable horses I have ever ridden. He was evicted from one farm, now another so we must move him again. The problem is Bill hates trailers, maybe because one took him from freedom. So we are asking everyone who can that would like to walk with Bill part of the way home to donate $10. For all those that can't be there Bill will carry a bag with everyone's name. We hope that someday Bill and all our rescues will all have a place they can call home, forever.

Peak oil

The energylesss future.

The energy of the future will come from horses, trees, and grass. BELIEVE IT! We are rapidly running out of fossil fuel and nothing will ever take its place, at least not in liquid form. If we continue on a path of consumption it will happen sooner rather then latter but eventually it will happen. Wind, solar panels, tides can only offer but a simmering of the energy needed to support so many of us. The only way forward is found by looking back to a time before oil. The two fuels of the real future will be trees and grass. Trees for shelter, heat and burn to fire steam engines and grass for horses who can work all day fueled by it. And there better be less of all of us. Sorry but 100 years ago we did it 100 years from now we will either learn to re live the past or perish. We might have some electricity but that's about it. There really is NO magic bullet. We need to leave our American Mustangs be, plant billions of trees, and nature grasslands. Cows must give way to farms, sub divisions and strip malls must stop being built and even turned back into land. OR we may have to one day eat little green patties.

Energy v. The American Mustangs

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/16/AR2010121604898.html
We are fixated on the words, jobs, growth and development and are selling our heritage to multinationals until ultimately the entire country will displace everything even our most cherished places in the name of profit. Our American Wild Mustangs, and many other species are already being removed in record numbers so that special interests may develop their lands.

Standing

Supreme Court Judge Scalia who wrote the book on “standing & mootness” once wrote that “a person that has standing at the beginning of a case shall have it at the end of the case.” Yet many Judges rule that one can loose standing if the violation is corrected hence the mater becomes “moot.” The problem is a plaintiff as in my case can spend 20 years and spend millions while the violation is corrected often because of the very actions of the plaintiff, then be dismissed on “Summary Judgement.” These cases never see a jury or the light of day, but reside in the bowls of the Court till the outcome benefits the corporate person so it can live forever unlike real persons.  It’s like a reverse double jeopardy. Judges often move mountains to protect capital. Mere Mustangs are expendable as are mountains, clean air, water, and even people.
