This is what I would do with my money. Buy 400 square miles of land and plop my house right in the middle.

We'll see where this one goes. If they have good intentions and allow hunting on some of their lands that wouldn't be a bad deal, but I could definitely see them raping the landscape with oil wells. Especially on that ranch up by Augusta.

See that's the problem is you have money u but a bunch of land and people wanna tell you what you can and can't do. If they wanna drill that's there problem not mine. If they wanna put a drill rig every 1000' it's there land do as they want if they wanna bulldoze it barren and have dirt it's theirs to do as they please. Now that would not be the way to make friends but then again it's their land.

Until the ground water for the whole community goes to shit, the rivers turn to fertilized sludge down river of your property, and all the other things that you can do on your property which actually affect others, but hey, it's your property :roll:

No slippery slope. Personal liberty ends when you start to affect others. Your rights can't interfere either theirs and vice versa. Or at least it should be that way.

Nope. I actually know very little about oil rigs, but I do know what the rivers look like here in MN from farming and mining. Same difference I would imagine. I don't even like the idea of eating a fish from the rivers here in the cities. I don't know how anyone could possibly want to eat fish from it farther south.

I know. Where do you draw the line? Can a line be drawn? No matter what, someone won't be happy with the answer.

So you're blaming something you know nothing about? Farmers and ranchers have little to no supervision on what, how much and where they spray their chemicals etc. many use as they should be but many also don't. Gas and oil wells on the other hand have more environmental standards to follow than you could possibly list. Take a look into where the water table lies and how many MILES below it to where they start the fracing operation. Don't be a Matt Damon.

I'm not being a Matt Damon. All I'm saying is that you can do what you want as long as it doesn't affect everyone else. That's it. Nothing more implied.

Gotcha, read into it too deep. My nerve on that topic might be a little too short after working down there and dealing with certain people....

I kind of made general statements. Farmers, miners, I'm sure lots of other professions and operations, all can and some do mess up ecosystems with no regard for what they are doing.

Urban sprawl is just as bad.
