For those who have never traveled to the great West, cattle guards
are horizontal steel rails placed on the road at fence openings to
prevent cattle from crossing. For some reason the bovines will not step
on the guards, probably because they fear getting their feet caugh between
the rails. We need to make that clear in order for everyone
to appreciate the following story:

President Clinton received a report that there were over 100,000
cattle guards in Colorado. Because Colorado ranchers protested his
proposed changes in grazing policies, he ordered Secretary of
Interior Bruce Babbitt to fire half of the guards immediately.
Before Babbitt could respond, and presumably straighten him out,
Colorado's then-congresswoman Pat Schroeder intervened with a
request that before any were fired they be given six months of
retraining.
