Tonight, I will be discussing the Bundy Ranch situation in the class I teach.

Here is the video I will be using to start the discussion:

Not using anything from Comedy Central, Fox, or MSNBC. Crazy…I know.

I am looking forward to the discussion. We are discussing it as part of a class on state and local government. Each student submits a question before class for discussion during our time together. One brought up this situation in his question.

Yesterday, a friend asked me why I have not blogged about this situation. I am on a bit of a hiatus while I work on other projects, but I also think it is too easy to make this out to be something more than it is. I do not see any martyrs, heroes, or villains here. Sometimes it is just best to tone down the narrative.
