    Kurt Meister: Economic and Freedom Jihadist with a Law Degree

    Well, today's JOA News started my day off just swell.  Yannow, it wasn't but 14 months ago I decided to bail from the Apocalyto of Wayne Countys' Dearbornistan and ride out the rest of my sunrises in beautiful Northern Michigan enjoying all the rugged Americana pleasures that a sparsely populated northern lifestyle openly offers.  Yah, I admit it, the attraction of the "lifestyle" in my newly adopted beautiful Alcona County lake home reminds me of a slower paced, less intrusive time growing up on a farm in a friendly, once small town Green Oak Township.  Today, I can still enjoy those freer times memories of boating, plinking with the .22 at soda cans, drowning some worms in the summer and hoppin' on a sled with some neighbor folk and eventually ending up around the fire-pit throwing back some adult libations in the winter over here at what is CS Central.  It's the "lifestyle" and within that is an economy.  That's what makes where I'm at my true slice of heaven.  Think about it, I live where most go to vacation.  That is what makes it not anything "down state".

    At almost 1 million acres, the Huron-Manistee National Forests in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula would seem to have enough room for everyone to play to their hearts' content.

    But a challenge to the U.S. Forest Service's land management plan is forcing officials to consider prohibiting popular activities such as firearms hunting and snowmobiling from certain areas -- all because of concerns over noise and how some recreational activities can affect others.

    Thus enters Kurt Meister...

    ..., Esquire.

    One Novi man's legal protest could result in 67,770 acres -- roughly 6.5 percent of the total forest land -- off-limits to those activities believed to interfere with quieter endeavors such as bird-watching, hiking and cross-country skiing.

    Novi resident Kurt Meister, 53, an attorney whose family owns a cottage near Cadillac, challenged the forest service plan, arguing that it didn't adequately address the concerns of all park users. On Friday, the comment period for readdressing the management plan closes with a final public information meeting in Lansing.

    Here we go again.  Yet another cottaging down state flatland Euell Gibbon's wannabe pops up to inflict his delusional will upon restricting what many in Northern Michigan not only enjoy, but depend on to exist to put food on the table year round.  And, let me make no mistake about Kurt Meister, Esq. being a truly delusional case.

    But beyond the technical issues raised by Meister was a simple question: If some recreation activities detract from others, does the forest service need to set aside land for restricted uses?

    "It's about noise and about the ability to say, 'One day, I'd like to go for a walk in the woods and hear nothing but birds or maybe the sound of a squirrel running up a tree. And I'd like to have that experience separated from human disturbances,'" Meister said.

    He said he has nothing against federal forest land being used for hunting or snowmobiling -- two activities that can be intrusive due to the amount of noise they cause. Bow hunting would remain an acceptable activity in the restricted areas. To preserve the experience of bird-watching, snow-skiing, hiking or other activities, he said, some property should be set aside for those people.

    Free from human disturbances?  Acceptable activities?  WTF?!?!  Change the whole economic dynamics of residents in the area, for a misanthropically challenged, part-time, cheap-ass minority of hiking birdwatchers?  Yah, riiiiiiiiiiiight.  And, didja notice that Kurt, Esq. ignores the fact the he can freely sit peeping through binoculars without "human disturbances" in the remaining 910,955 acres of Huron-Manistee National Forests?  Yessiree, that just seems not enough for a down stater that wants to turn National Forests into their backyard for their cottage.  Honestly, I've read enough about this technicality sniping whack-job and I've sure as hell have had enough of that type f#@%ing up life for others in how they choose to legally live it.

    Okay, here's where the tables turn.  And I hope more Northerners that care about their "lifestyle" jump on the bandwagon of examining who these invasive assclowns really are.  Let's reeeeally look at exactly who is this Kurt "Euell Gibbon's wannabe" Meister.

    Okay, yep, a mouthpiece since '82 that can be found here in Novi... yada, yada, yada...  Hmmmmm.  Now, this is interesting.  When one goes through the City of Novi tax rolls, one can't find any such Meister at 22581 Moorgate St Novi, MI  48374 listed.  Perhaps that should be investigated further?  Anyway, there are two listings for a Meister.  One has to be excluded because we know that 'ol Euell Gibbon's wannabe is a Kurt J.  So, going with the assumption that gummint must always be right, that leaves the City of Novi pointing to this.  Interesting.  If true, that would mean that "Mr. Free from human disturbances" lawyer dude lives in one of those organized attached condo ghettos that cropped up on farmland back in the 70's.  Now that'd be ironic wouldn't it.  The ooooold sanctimoniously hypocritical, "What's good for me, is not for thee."... at their second dwelling.  Typical of so many Generation Jones aged folk these days.

    Besides, like it or not, our new Governor Snyder has pledged a whole new boatload of our coin on promoting such things as snowmobiling and hunting in my beautiful sunrise part of the state.

    And, like it or not, I recognize the economic impact felt by my new community when it snows, and when opening day rolls around.  I don't depend on it to put food on the table but many of my new friends do to make through the seasons when the down state "fudgies" stay home.  

    Like I opened my little rant... it is a Northern lifestyle.

    God forbid that the public should be allowed to use public land. This garbage has been going on in the west for a few years. Public land once open to the public is now off limits to same said public. Once an overbearing fumbling government decided it could better choose about the proper care for the land that once belonged to the individual states we were in trouble. The ulitimate goal of the prairie fairies is to put ALL public land off limits to use by the public. Kind of a contradiction in terms but that is the way the minds of these extremist elite's work. The solution is easy. Since the Feds originally used the excuse that they were seizing these lands for the use and well being of the public they have vacated that reasoning by not allowing public use. Therefore the original reason for seizure is no longer valid. The states should begin suits in order to have any Federal land within their states borders returned to the states immediately. Then maybe some of the natural resources that the Feds have locked up on purpose using these lies can actually be put to good use for the citizens of the individual states where those resource reserves lie.

    I know of the piece of paradise you speak of as I was born and raised one county north of you on Lake Huron.  I miss it dearly.

    However, there is a scourge (mostly attorney's with too much time on their hands) that has invaded these little communities with the most hair brained excuses that are attached to their diatribes and lawsuits to shut out, shut up, demean and belittle the very people who have been residents for their entire lives.  I am so sick and tired of these ass wipes I could.... well, I won't go there.  

    We are personally involved in one of these disputes at Burt Lake - and guess what?  The ass wipe is an attorney!  We are now in our 5th year of court hearings, motions, appeals, etc.  He just won't quit until he gets what HE wants, which is to put a road thru our back yard so it is more convenient for HIM to access his property. It is very taxing on your very soul to know the property that has been in your family for over 60 yrs is being slowly taken away from you for the "convenience" of someone who has no respect for private property rights of others and is supposed to honor the law of the land.  It is not Pure Michigan - It is Pure Disgusting!!!
