...land, and I don't want anyone on it--but now I don't have any control anymore," says Dube, 39, a tall, mustachioed man with a quiet voice and a long stare. Like many, but not all, landowners in the Powder River basin, Dube owns only the surface rights to his land. The mineral rights are split among the federal and state governments and other private owners in a complex title history dating back to the homesteading acts of the early 1900s.

A bunch of four-foot tall humanoids standing around in snowsuits twelve months a year is not an uncommon sight where I live, and, surprisingly enough, neither are fat children who can't stop cursing. But that, I suppose, was never the root of South Park’s humour. It was those bi-visaged flatulent Canadian television stars, Terrence and Phillip, who destroyed the moral fibre of South Park, thus igniting the war against the neighbours to the north and spurring the immortal war ballad...
