"not enough justification for the Feds owning almost all of Nevada and half of the west. " I don't see justification for selling any of the 100% they used to own, but it's too late to fight that battle.

Not entirely true, and not enough justification for the Feds owning almost all of Nevada and half of the west. In the case of Nevada, the feds own that land because no one wanted it. Even the state, which gave large tracts of it to the government because they didn't want to pay to maintain it. The government tried to give it away for decades. Same is true for much of the West.

I think if we are going to sell off Federal land we should give the Indians first crack at it. Maybe we could start with those reservations where they have to live. It would kinda be like an Indian-owned, condo reservation. They could even open a casino down there in the four-corners area where all those Navajos are just sitting around all day. This way at least they could sit around and get drunk on their own useless piece of desert nobody else wants. I say let'em buy the reservation and toss in a portion of Pahrump as a kicker.
