two stories up at www.wilderness-sportsman.com that are simply too ridiculous to believe:




"National parks being hijacked, group claims
Retirees tie proposed public use revisions to political appointee

An association of retired National Park Service employees on Friday accused Bush administration political appointees of hijacking America’s national parks, saying a leaked Interior Department document shows a move to stress recreation and resource development over park preservation."

"

The coalition cited these examples of what the rules would bring:

The use of snowmobiles would be radically expanded at Yellowstone and other national parks, allowing them to travel over any paved road in winter.
Grazing and mining would be elevated to "park purposes," thus ensuring their continuation.
The use of jet skis, ORVs, dirt bikes and other mechanized vehicles would be permitted on a virtually unrestricted basis.
Tourist flights would increase, impacting the natural peace and quiet at parks.
Rangers would be forced to kill bears at parks like Yellowstone if they damaged private property."

As long as this administration grips all power, all news stories will look like this.

6. This has been part of the "plan" for a long time....

No one could think that this administration would leave pristeen areas, filled with mineral rights alone did they?

These people are out to destroy everything. They have no mptrals and have no sense of honor, dignity or shame.

Complaining makes us feel better, but we damn well should be working on getting Congress back into D hands in '06!!!!!
