Bill, you live in one little bitty tiny piece of land.  Your land is not 
"THE" west.  The west included thousands of acres of land that aren't like 
your miserable little piece.

Nor is Coos County "THE" west.  There are plenty of areas where there is 
plenty of grassland in the West.

Get over thinking you or your little piss ant piece is THE West.

BTW, you the numbskulls in Oregon hadn't attempted to clear cut the whole 
blooming state, those trees would still be there to hold onto cloud cover 
and RAIN.  You know, that stuff that makes things green.

BTW, I do NOT live "inland."  I live in the Coastal Range and I lived my 
whole life on the coast.
