No matter what your personal political beliefs, the park service has
clearly over played their hand.

Teabagger talk. Another one teabagified and down the toilet.
Joins Scotty, gfretwell, et al.


Getting its hands on the National Parks has long been a wet dream of the
right...control the parks, own the parks, develop the parks, exploit the
parks, log the parks, extract oil and gas from the parks, turn the parks
into mini police states, et cetera.

I can see it now...McDonald's Yosemite National Park, with the rangers
dressed up as happy meal characters and a $250 admission except on the
semi annual coupon day.

The National Parks have already been used by the left to limit and prevent the explotation of
natural resources such as trees and oil for the benefit of all.

Isn't that what is happening now?

The US Park Service has closed the ocean.
Biscane bay and most of Florida bay is closed.

It takes a lot more manpower to keep people out than it would to keep
it open. In fact it was the Florida Wildlife Service and the Collier
Sheriff's department that does most of the law enforcement in the
10,000 islands anyway.


Tell your Republican representatives to stop extorting the people.

Go back and read that article from Forbes and tell me who is extorting
whom. The park service has been co-opted for political purposes.

Tripe is as tripe does. Thanks for the left handed compliment but
this issue *is* boating related, and we as a country are being jerked
around for political purposes. Smokey the Bear would not be amused.

Everyone on furlough is being paid with borrowed money.

That seems to mean you are out of ammo.

No, it means that you apparently just don't get it....
