I find it interesting in our world today how easily some people give away their inch. Now that inch can be any number of things from freedoms, to access, to choice but in the end if you are willing give up your inch “they” are going to take a mile.
Now “they” have grown smarter over the years while we have grown dumber. They have learned not to take the full mile when we give the inch, instead they start slowly and distract us and incentivize us to give away the mile. It always ends the same though when you give them an inch they will take a mile.
I tried to take my family to Lake Pleasant for a camping trip last weekend. Something I have done for years, something my dad did with me as a child. Only when we got to the lake I was told we are no longer allowed to camp on the shore. It was closed 2 years ago due to “Covid” but after it was closed they realized how much cleaner it was and now don’t know if “they” will ever let beach camping return. It isn’t the end of the world…really it’s just an inch. unfortunately I know where this road goes and it does not end well for people who love the outdoors, love to creat memories with their families, bonds with their children. This road only ends well for the people who like to see the pretty pictures or drive by the forests on the way to their timeshares. It’s only an inch for now but once anti access learns to use fear to close temporarily what they know they want closed forever our inch turns into a mile.
if you are a fan of Yellowstone(if not watch it and watch it now) always remember.
Don’t let them take it from you….not a goddamn inch”
