I agree, those government lands and parks needs some serious landscaping,
their nothing but overgrown weed farms, most are even preserved in that
manor!!! Sell em off to someone that can take care of them. Talk about
wasted resources...
Still though, who defines the "proper" state of a peice of land. Maybe I
just dont like cutting my grass.

Id hardly call taxes "upkeep", more like "tribute".

Totally agree here! I never said they had a right to KEEP them. I just said
you cant go around sterilizing people. Damn right they have a legal
responsibility to maintain their kids.
