ROCKHOUNDS UNITE!! Many of the sites where we rockhound in Southern California are being taken from us if we don't fight for them! The Cady Mountains, Afton Canyon, Lavic Sididng, Gem Hill and Lonely Butte, among others, lost to wind farms and solar. Here is a link to take a quick survey. WE NEED EVERYONE!! we have only until Feb 2015 to try and put a stop to this atrocity! This measure, if passed will block anyone from going to these sites for 25 years+. Please take the time and complete the survey it only takes 10 minutes. SAVE THE LAND! www.sdmg.org/sdmg-public/resources/blm/resources/FIGHT BACK!!!!

This has been going on for over a hundred years!
Progressives = Liberals = Democrats, are fearful people. They KNOW they are the only ones that know anything and to save the world they have to be in charge and control everything. Without their control lumberjacks would have chopped down every tree, farmers would have destroyed all farm land, cattle ranchers would have destroyed the atmosphere, rockhounds would have picked up every rock and we wouldn't have a planet left to stand on.

I can see it now. A new division of government.
The Endangered Geologic Areas Division of the department of the interior. EGAD
There is a consensus among scientists that gravity readings all over the world have been significantly altered due to man made global gravity changes. This the result of extensive rockhounding. These pillagers must be stopped. If something is not done, and right soon, by 2017 gravity effects will have diminished by 10%. If this happens then fat people will weigh less and be more active. This terrible development is just another in a long wave of anthropogenic changes to mother earth. This is just the most recent attack on the very survivability of the human species. If we do not close off huge areas of the world to exploration and mineral development the human species may simply float off into space. Less deadly effects of lower gravity are children growing taller, corn tasting better and toilets flushing slower. Now folks, you all now we cannot have toilets flushing slower. Of course, kids growing taller will be the end of the NBA, the future players all killed by hitting their heads on the rim.
Take action now and support the fencing off of what remains of our devastated deserts. NOW!

All the way from the waters of the Pacific at the Tijuana River Valley area of California just south of San Diego to the warm Gulf of Mexico waters at Las Palomas Wildlife Management Area just east of Brownsville Texas. Scott, you didn't mention that the mining of minerals under the crust of the earth may cause the planet to implode due to all those tunnels down there. <-- Kinda like Guam tipping over if we station more military personnel there.

Thanks Rick! That was a free flow riff typed on my phone in about 10 minutes. Somedays are better than others.

That is another dire effect of rockhounding and the subsequent industrialization of the results. A completely different issue, entirely. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Implosion and anomolous gravitational effects while related are VERY different indeed. And the Guam thingy, well, who could deny that?? Next we will have Guam tipping denialists, implosion apologists and gravitational skeptics. Sheesh!!

I need all of your help,I am going to create a religion based around rock hounding!lol with your help we will exploit the religion, to benefit rockhounds all over the country. because they haven't taken away freedom of religion yet. by the way I am dead serious!!!!

uh... okay... so how exactly are we to help?
Hope this won't conflict with the not worshiping false idols commandment, I'm already treading on thin ice here.
Looking forward to the pictures of you in flowing robes with staff in hand.
You going to go spend 40 years out at Lavic Siding?
Will there be a movie?

No a religion based around rocks and the earth! To be used in the event you get poped rockhounding, once they decide to make it illegal. I subscribe to no religion for my mind is filthy, and not brain Washable lol. This is an idea designed as a get out of jail free card! I have been researching the death of our hobby lately, and i fear it will be rolling out nation wide sooner than we may think! The government has allready forced many closers throughout the country, and we rockhounds are being painted as a menace! illegal or not rockhounding is what i do, and i will not stop. The funny thing is the government will never be able to fence off every entrance, or fully enforce there bans on rockhounding.I have been rockhounding a thousand times, and seen a ranger only once. my idea is designed to get you out of that fine when you finally get caught. So when you get pulled over leaving lavic siding after a 40 year stay lol. and the cop says you know its illegal to take rocks from here right! you can look at him and say, those are not from here sir i always have those in my truck! the agate protects me from evil! lol. And if that cop is a religious man, he should be fine with it because that should sound no crazier than Zenon and soul planting space ships, or a man turning water into wine, curing blindness, and walking on water, and then coming back from the dead. or blowing your self to pieces so you can get 40 hot virgins in some magical realm.
