| One amazing fact I learned from the article is that the US
| government often leases land to mining companies, ranchers, loggers,
| and other businesses, but is NOT ALLOWED to sell the land to
| environmental groups that are willing to buy the land and keep it
| unspoiled.
So why don't the environmental groups just keep leasing the same land
over and over, if it's so cheap?
| Even worse, the US government leases the land for far less
| than it costs to maintain the land,
When you lease the land, are you supposed to maintain it, or does the
government continue to maintain it for you?
