Joshua Tree National Park To Close For Cleanup, Repairs To Vandalism, Illegal Roads


EDIT: feel free to move to appropriate forum...

Take everything with a grain of salt. Interesting way to "cut" down tree

Joshua Tree National Park stays open, will increase access during government shutdown

Makes you wonder why we let the federal government have control over things like that if a shutdown can topple the agreed upon tax funded maintenance of these lands. It should be state land owned and maintained by the locals.

I watched a 5 year old climbing all over the ancient cliff dwellings down in Durango Colorado once. Mom and dad said not a word until a ranger about lost his mind. You can’t stop people from doing what they do I guess. I wonder if people who lived in the cliffs back then climbed on their ancient monuments too.

It seems that the Egyptians are vandalizing their own monuments.
During the time of Plato the pyramids at Giza were veneered in glowing white limestone that was eventually damaged in an earthquake and subsequently removed to build parts of Alexandria.
Currently they are covering the Shpinx in plaster.

Ignorance and intelligence are relative.

The first thing I thought when I saw that video is “How have did we ever survive without the government there to protect us?” I’m in full agreement that the states should own these areas, but then all you’d hear is how they don’t have the funding to properly maintain them and they’d have to shut them.

No matter what form of government you have, the quality of it is directly linked to the quality of the people in the society. As George Carlin so eloquently put it “you put sh!t in, you get sh!t out.”
