Comment on The Wyoming corner crossing caseparent

I feel profound sadness that there is no legal equivalent in the US. What a beautiful, humane concept.

The endless signs about trespassing in wild parts of the USA are pretty grim. I understand why they do it, but it feels so adversarial and ugly.

As I went walking I saw a sign there,

And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."

But on the other side it didn't say nothing.

That side was made for you and me.

For some reason, that stanza gets left out of the all modern performances I've heard.

That's because it's not in the Guthrie version, only the Mojo Nixon version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSNjVogUV1E

This version, apparently by Guthrie, has it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxiMrvDbq3s

Perhaps you would like to put this feeling into action and talk to your representative about changing the law.
