Signs of Intelligence

<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/07/21/news/wyoming/38-cbm-rule.txt">Group backs CBM water rule</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>A group of landowners in Wyoming's Powder River Basin says state leaders refuse to help protect against harm from coalbed methane water, so they're looking downstream to Montana for help.<br />n<br />n"We really struggled with ourselves about whether we wanted to file suit against our own governor," said Bob LeResche, a Clearmont rancher who chairs the Powder River Basin Resource Council's board. "But we decided he couldn't be any more negative toward us."</blockquote><br />n<br />nI kept wondering why Wyoming citizens weren't more up in arms about coalbed methane production but signs of intelligence are emerging. I sure am glad to see this. Standing up to protect their resources from a government that doesn't care. True democracy in action.<br />n<br />n<strong>A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
