I grew up in the next town west of Burns, Oregon, where so-called militia men are occupying a federal building in protest of the federal sentencing of some local ranchers for arson. If you know anything about how sparsely populated Eastern Oregon is, that means Burns is a two hour drive from my hometown. I’ve spent a fair amount of time on and around ranches in that part of the world and know the issues there pretty well.
