When you consider public land, you must ask, don't I already have permission to 
be there?  For most public land the answer is yes, I am allowed to be there, I 
have permission to be there.  Some public entities have policies in place that 
must be followed.  Others have chosen not to put a policy in place.  As long as 
I don't break a policy, I don't see why I can hide a cache on public property.
As you might notice private property is different.  Explicit permission is a 
must in all cases.  That kills more Walmart caches that we fortunately don't 
see too much in STL.

It's been hashed out quite well on GC.com and it's a decent mantra...
"If I do not have to ask permission to play a game of frisbee in this park, I 
do not have to ask permission to geocache...barring existing rules, of course."

Many on here said they'd never use this idea, but I daresay it's used more than 
people will admit to. If there was no frisbee rule, half the caches published 
would not be with us...

Thats not really a good comparison 

I would leave my cache behind but I would never leave my Frisbee behind.

You would have to hide your Frisbee there and have someone else come and find 
it to play Frisbee for the two to be remotely the same.

That sounds like a small town rule. Some of the places I have thrown a Frisbee 
you really wouldn't want to hide a cache.

You can throw a Frisbee almost anywhere without hassle. I can't see how this is 
a good analogy at all.
