I think there are much more terrible things going in our world than some nut leaving the boardwalk and walking around a geyser. Guess what, people were walking on that land long before it became owned by the federal government.
I guess I'm somewhat of a radical when it comes to the National Parks. We the people own those parks yet we get no say in their operation and are forced to pay an entry fee. Rangers are not elected and are unaccountable to we the people yet they set the rules and policies for the parks, whether we agree or not. It's like the police creating the laws and enforcing said laws, which is absurd.
The fact that there are worse offenses than breaking park rules does not justify breaking said rules.
Park rangers and police DO NOT create the rules or laws within their jurisdiction. They ENFORCE the laws which are enacted by others.
"We the people" also own cats and dogs. Does that mean we should be able to abuse them if we choose?
