The Wilkes Brothers and the Laws of Trespass

Simon Tisdall: How much land in the United States is owned privately by big landholders, including Ted Turner and John Malone. He says some who bought land simply for sport try to keep people off the land with security fences or shoot them away. The most notorious of these are a pair of ultra right wing evangelical Christians called the Wilkes brothers - they grew up in far west Texas. They're being very dog in mangerish about that, their land holdings, which to my way of thinking is a bad thing.
