Is Yosemite really closed??
I don't want to get into anything political here but I have an interesting question. Isn't saying that Yosemite is closed kind of like saying the ocean is closed? I mean the ocean is still there just ...

Step 1: UN-Federate the parks and lands
Step 2: WITHOLD states' citizen's tax money from the federal gov't- at least while they are on STRIKE.
Step 3: RE-EVALUATE which items absolutely MUST be managed by the federal gov't and why.
Remember, there is no such thing as 'Federal Monies' to withhold from the country. ALL monies are from the citizens. Simply have each STATE hold whatever tax monies were supposed to go to the federal gov't.
Sort of like escrowing your rent money during a landlord dispute. You are still paying, but 'they' can't get it until they get their******together.
The 'danger' of that is the states may realize they can manage their own resources- such as roads, education, healthcare, and PARKS/LANDS- better without federal interference.
Just like a strike that goes on too long ends up killing the company and losing its customers :B
As for 'protecting' federal lands, the federal gov't either will or will not. They've abandoned their posts, shirked their responsibilities. So it's time to find another solution.
Simple. If they don't want to do their job, someone else would be happy to do so ;)
