Last week, Congressman Jason Chaffetz proposed to “return to private ownership” 5 million acres of federal land in the West.

The word “return” caught my attention. Before the United States owned Utah’s land, it was the property of Mexico, which had inherited it from Spain, which had been deeded the area by the Pope in Rome, who (I’m sure this was an oversight) failed to consult the actual inhabitants with actual moccasins on the ground.

The Mormon pioneers arrived here as squatters, first on Mexican, then on American, soil. Land apportioned by Brigham Young and the LDS Church to the early pioneers was only reconciled to federal law in 1869, when Congress established a land office in Utah to sort things out.

Federal ownership of large portions of the state was later enshrined in the Utah Constitution, probably as a condition of statehood.

So the federal land that Chaffetz hopes to “return” to private ownership hasn’t been in private hands for centuries — unless he’s thinking of the original inhabitants who had, at best, a hazy notion of private property.

No one in Congress is seriously thinking about giving away anything these days. But I thought I would do an historical title search anyway, just to see if it was possible to unearth the original owners.

Who were the real discoverers and original American pioneers? There had to have been a paleo-Columbus discoverer and a proto-Brigham Young who led his tribe to settle in Utah. Of course, without written records we’ll never know these particular stories. But tools and the remains of meals can tell us where and when people were, even if they can’t say what the person munching on mammoth looked liked.

A site in Texas has yielded 15,000-year-old stone tools. Recent research on a 14,000-year-old mammoth from Washington state confirmed that the animal had been pierced by a human-crafted spear point.. So who exactly is he proposing to return this land to?

Okay so yeaterday I was on Facebook watching a youtube video posted on my wall. All of a sudden all of these pop ups came up on my computer telling me I had BANKERFOX.A virus.

My malwarebites Antivirus software scan shows no threats when ran the scan.

I can't open internet (neither IE or Chrome will open) All the sites I've gone to (on this library computer) have told me to run task manager, run a virus scan, etc. Which, as I've explained is not possible for me as I HAVE NO internet I can not open ANYTHING at all!

I read somewhere that Bankerfox is part of a rouge spyware scam trying to bully me into buying fake spyware protection. Also, I noticed in my programs I have a new program I am unable to uninstall titled aa with an icon that looks like a teacup with steam comming out off it? HELP PLEASE!

For an embassy? Thanks

First question...is a place considered an object?

example:

It compromises England,Scotland, and Wales.

Compromises is the verb, so are the places an object? or is this intransitive?

Correct my work.

1. Most of that island is occupied by Republic of Ireland. occupied is the verb, Is Republic of Ireland the object?.....Urgg, I so don't get this...

We brought him home from petco Sunday and he ate a apricot and some dandelions, and I keep offering him a variety of different things in small portions but he's not eating. He seems healthy and alert and is quite active. So my question is, is it normal for them to go that long without eating?

As much detail as possible, THANKS!

can not get the fridge to work at all on electricity or propane. Any ideas? Thanks!

at the end he is in a boat .....

Could you compare the two books with some examples please? Thank you for any info.

subsidize health care? Anyone with common sense can see that is where this is going. He is going to need those votes.

It seems like most answerers have no idea about history or politics, but seem to have all the answers after listening to the news? WOW, Your thoughts?

I mean they are getting jobs here because employers can pay them less, so there would be no point in hiring them if they became legal citizens? Is that correct? Do you think illegals have thought about that? More illegals would just come to fill those jobs like the last time amnesty was passed. But now there are less jobs, Unemployment rate at 8.9% shows Obama's "stimulus" has failed.

most seem genuinely worried.What facts do you personally see that this is not a conspiracy, how long do you think it will be before there is no more doubt for the sheeple, and what are you doing to prepare? I can not even buy ammo in my town anymore? Just curious, thanks.

geometry? They offer a computer programming I class to, but I think that is a college credit, I did not do so well in algebra. Thanks for any advise.

1) Re-tell the paragraph as if you were writing it for a kindergarten age child. Use short sentences and simple words.

2) Re-tell it in very formal language - maybe like an older, dignified college professor lecturing. Use more difficult vocabulary and longer, more complex sentences.

3)Re-tell it as if you were a teen who liked using slang, talking to your (very cool) friends.

The Fellowship flees to the Bridge of Khazad-Dûm, a narrow span across an abyss and the last obstacle before the main gate.

As the party runs across, Gandalf turns to face a new terror that approaches: a Balrog. It is a dreadful spirit of shadow and flame,

Durin’s Bane, the evil that caused the downfall of Moria. Gandalf holds off the Balrog, and then collapses the bridge to hurl it into

the depths. Just as he turns away, the Balrog’s flaming whip uncurls and pulls Gandalf down, as well. Weeping, the remainder of the

Fellowship flees, escaping from the mines into the light of early afternoon.

Thank You! Help with any of the three would be great.
