Utah’s lawsuit to seize 18.5 million acres of public land has brought with it significant outcry from public land enthusiasts across the beehive state. It can be tempting to think the ramifications from this lawsuit would stay within Utah borders, but that is not the case. If there was any uncertainty the outcome would affect public lands across the nation, Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador recently made that crystal clear (and not in a good way).

Bad ideas aren’t so bad until they start to get contagious. That appears to be what’s happening with one of the worst public land viruses infecting our nation today.

"Defenders of the short-sighted men who in their greed and selfishness will, if permitted, rob our country of half its charm by their reckless extermination of all useful and beautiful wild things sometimes seek to champion them by saying the 'the game belongs to the people.' So it does; and not merely to the people now alive, but to the unborn people. The 'greatest good for the greatest number' applies to the number within the womb of time, compared to which those now alive form but an insignificant fraction. Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wild life and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method." – Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
