    This is beyond all human comprehension. Along the lines of no one even knowing a mining operation existed in a spot. I grieve for Arizona tonight.

    Mining. Barbwire. Or water rights or killing all the buffalo and prairie dogs to make it safe for cattle. Or the failed experiment of plowing ALL the prairie land for wheat.
