I think the real question it raises for me is "how long are we going to be prisoners of the monster we created?" and "do we value freedom at all?". <br><br>Do we really want the government to be our nanny? The land is ours. We created the government to administrate it, now the government treats national parks like their own private backyard, where they might or might not let you perform certain activities. Do we really think the government should be able to tell you "Don't go in there?".  It's public land. "But it's dangerous" is not a proper excuse.
