What I think bugs me the most about this thing is that it's justified mostly because of "safety".
Safety is our responsibility not the governments.
Say no to the nanny state.
Sorry to say, you don't get to make the rules, me either. People start dying, and other people (LIKE US) write their Congressmen about the negligence and lack of performance of the Park Service, and the next thing you know, the head of the Park Service is hauled before a committee of Congress to explain this dereliction. Sh*t, of course, flows downhill, and the local managers lose their jobs, get poor job ratings, etc, etc, etc.
This is US taking responsiblity for our safety, demanding it from the gov't.
But I'll enjoy watching you fill those potholes on Flower Street this winter........
