Title just said "sand dunes." Post didn't give any location or reason.

Thank you qtla911. My first post wasn't bashing anyone, just making a statement and even said thank you. Then then "bashers" started. I even said the sand dunes are there to protect and gave the reason why - but some people don't read facts they just need to put there two cents in and not read the posts. Anyway, I want to make sure we all need to leave this earth doing the right thing for the generations after we are dead and gone. If someone isn't for that, what can I say. Enough said
your original post word for word:
With the hurricanes we have had, I just need to get this off my chest. Protect the sand dunes. They are there for a reason. Thank you.
at best you were vague and expected everyone to read your mind. but then most of us are just stupid.

Nature will always prevail, but it takes a long time to do it. We still don't have control.
I'm with the OP and understood from the get go exactly what he meant. Why not just accept the fact that we as humans feel we have some higher hand in the cycle when in reality being at the top of the chain doesn't make us better.
We are responsible for saving the planet as well as destroying it. Lay off the OP and accept reality.

Guess you people don't care about protecting the camprounds. Fine.
well, you could have been a bit more specific in your first post.

Mom and Dad explained things really good when I was a 1st grader. Then when I became a teenager they didn't have a clue what they were talking about.
Maybe that is the problem you are having with your original post. :B

Many of us out here are nature oriented folks. None of us are dune haters and out to destroy them...
Good grief.
This is very common on west coast dunes...Oregon, Malibu, etc. No harm done.

I grew up in Michigan and have been to Sleeping Bear Dunes along L. MI many times. Climbing the dunes is encouraged. In OK we have Little Sahara Dunes, where folks climb and drive dune buggies. There are dunes to be climbed in CO. Please do not assume that people without your specialized knowledge are mean or stupid. Time to get off your high horse and meet us peons where we live.

Your statement that these comments just don't get it, or don't care, maybe exactly correct, because they don't have the same problem where they are from.
Perhaps if you had gone into more detail, as riven1950 did, folks may have understood what you were ranting about.

Thank you, riven1950. Yes my question was serious. I am amazed as the stupidity of adults that don't know why the sand dunes are there. Guess they are the same ones that walk all over them and allow their children to walk all over them.

Did you ever stop to think that only a small fraction of the population lives anywhere near a sand dune? A large number who visit are from distant locations. Sorry to say, the only stupidity here is you assuming everyone else knows everything, just as you do.
