Show HINCKLEY JOURNAL OF POLITICS 2002/2003 limit wilderness and preserve traditional land use patterns is to work to influence the current Bush administration and strike deals that will be favorable to them. Wilderness advocates for now will find the friendliest ear in the courts and among sympathetic bureaucrats who can continue to promote the current gridlock that locks up land in Wilderness Study Areas. Both groups, as well as all others who have a stake in the debates outlined in this paper would do well to support those who will be sympathetic to their cause in the future. This may be achieved through elections, political appointments, or favor trading. The lesson of Utah's Wilderness Wars is that the differences of the two sides come down to a fundamental and bitter disagreement in ideologies over the scope of government, the role of man in nature, and the use of natural resources.
