  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Broad bi-partisan opposition to recent cuts in staffing in agencies that manage our public lands in the West:

"Why it matters: The bipartisan Conservation in the West survey, released Wednesday, is the first to measure the region's reaction to the Trump administration's move days earlier to cut thousands of national park, forest service and Bureau of Land Management workers.

The big picture: The overwhelming support for public lands and the agencies that manage them is reflected throughout the Mountain West.

  • In the eight states polled, a large majority — including among self-identified MAGA Republicans — oppose funding cuts to federal public land agencies, and prioritize conservation over oil and gas drilling by the widest margin in the poll's 15-year history.
  • 87% want career professionals to make decisions about public lands, water and natural resources rather than Trump administration appointees."
