California "Overstepped" By Banning Off-Roaders, Appeals Judges Say

There are days I feel like we live in some Bizarro World. A world where reality and common sense have been replaced by vibes, feelings, and this attitude of "This is my way of doing things, it's the only way of doing things, and I'm going to push it through despite everyone else telling me it's a terrible idea."

It's a world of polarity with no room for gray, even though much of everything is a shade of the color. And not just because I'm partially colorblind.

That's the basis of this story out of California, where a governmental commission went and banned off-road vehicles from a designated off-road area. You know, an area that was legally approved of by the public and voters to use as an off-road area, not just some random piece of land. But after years of court cases, and wasting everyone's time and money—mostly the taxpayers' money—an appellate court found in favor of the off-roaders, stating that the commission didn't have the authority to close off-road use of the famous Oceano Dunes.
