What would this man say? Fight! boxing_smiley.gif

John "Bluto" Blutarsky: "Oh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto. We might get in trouble."Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me. I'm not gonna take this! Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer . . .

Eric "Otter" Stratton: Dead. Bluto's right, psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now, we could fight 'em with conventional weapons, that could take years, and cost millions of lives. No, in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture, be done on somebody's part.

He pointed to proposed legislation by Sen. Craig Thomas, R-Wyo., that would make fees for national parks permanent and would end the fee program on other public lands.

This is a different Senator offering a different bill that would effectively end the fee system (park pass) as we know it. thumbs_up.gif I think it is a great idea to eliminate it. cool.gif

 

Lummox...if you want to keep paying the fees to use the National Forest lands, that's your opinion...but I disagree. boxing_smiley.gif I want to see the parking and volcano pass end. thumbs_down.gif

 

The National Park's system of fees is different and entrance fees have always existed. Not that I love them, but I'll put up with it. I'll take the non-fee use of the National Forests any day. cool.gif

"Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor?"

"German's?"

"Forget it, he's on a roll!"

Best common sense compromise I've heard. This is what I've been promoting all along. Duh!!!

 

National Parks are public land set aside for permanant protection from other activities such as mining, logging and other natural resource extraction. I don't mind paying for use of that "protected" land. I'll be damned if I'll subsidize the National Forest and soon to come I'm sure, BLM land.

Critics include Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore. Earlier this year Walden supported an amendment that would kill the rec demo fee program, according to Walden's spokesman Dallas Boyd. "Greg doesn't approve of the idea of just charging someone to go walk in the woods and look at the trees," Boyd said.

holy shit. I agree with Greg Walden. wazzup.gif
