Laughing Bear, This supposed war to stop Saddam and his " Weapons of Mass Destruction , which got switched to a war " to save the Iraqi people ", because they couldn't find " any " of the weapons of mass destruction, is not a war I supported either. It was a move, under false pretenses, to control an area of the world that has the second biggest reserves of oil left, at a time when the US supplies of oil are extremely low. Thats my opinion. I'm sure you and I laughing Bear, could name lots of things, all day long, that we don't like seeing our tax money pay for, lots of corrupt government practices. On the other hand, Mike Castro try's to impose on people that they should be lawful in regards to his property rights, and yet, in his years at the Bowen Ranch, he has trampled into the ground, the rights of others accessing DCHS in the area around his private property, and has run a business profiting from DCHS visitors, which most likely is not a legal operation. Many of the visitors who benifit from his arrangement don't care about the legality of Mike Castro's business, as long as THEY have a place to park thier car. They don't care about the saftey of others in areas surrounding the Bowen Ranch, as long as THEY are safe, for them its " forget the law, keep Mike in business, because it suits my needs ". Also all the local agencies derive the benifit of not having to put resources into the area because of Mike Castro's CONTROL ( stranglehold ) of the lands around the Bowen Ranch. I believe these agencies have let Mike Castro get away with far too much, for far too long, simply because these agencies find it CONVENIENT to have Mike Castro do thier jobs for them.
