I'm not following the Bundy thing at all but I have a question...

do you think his aim in all this is so he can get a movie deal for lots of money? After all, when you see that group they almost seem "costumed." Everything is so perfectly cast and looks like a shoot set up.

Surely, I am not the only person who has thought of this angle...

Season 1 was a short one, though. The next five will be...tedious.

they are the real deal... ideologues that continue in the tradition of the Sagebrush Rebellion with Cliven Bundy continuing the tradition of refusing to cooperate with the BLM that his father started in the 1950's... they truly believe that there should be NO interference by the Federal Gov't concerning use of land

doing this. IOW, it's only "fair" that he gets something out of the fight. Or some kind of justification...We'll see...

to do this. He was raised by Cliven and has listened to this anti-government b.s. his whole life so I'm guessing he's pretty well indoctrinated. He actually believes his own delusions.
