1. Brilliant! I wonder how much the US government could get for Yosemite?

Yellowstone? Denali? :sarcasm: :evilfrown:

2. Look at what happened to Easter Island when they

cut down and used all the trees and didn't replant.

3. This could not be more symbolic of the times in which we live!

The government (the people) selling SHERWOOD FUCKING FORREST back to the rich landowner! What's next, cutting off the hand of someone "poaching" the Lord of the Manor's rabbits?

4. Geeze

Why can we just lease it like the US does with so many of their parks? that way the govt can take it back or refuse to re- lease it when they are being misused. Thats just wrong.
