How cool would it be if Senator Reid showed everyone he's a real human being with the best interest of his constituency by initiating a sit down with Cliven Bundy to a) ensure the people have his ear, and b) try in earnest to find a win-win solution?
Don't get me wrong, Bundy needs to understand plain and clear that he's absolutely in the wrong on the land dispute, and that he needs to put in place a solid contingency plan like a good business person would. There is always the possibility that this land is too vulnerable to EVER be grazed. But how cool would it be to show the American people that Washington isn't a bunch of detached SIG a-holes without souls?
This is a high enough profile case that a senator should step in and do his job. I don't even care if that means coming up with some tax-payer funded special grant for a pilot program with the goal of making co-habitation possible or taxing this solar plant or fracking or whatever to cover the costs. All that matters to me is that the people feel like protesting will get listening ears of D.C.
