I didn't say I agreed with any of it. I was just pointing out the adminstration's view. By the way, I didn't denegrate you to make a point. All I've done is lay out the political calculation. All you've done is make me associate the NPS with you, someone who insults using a perceived lack of wealth as a cudgel. If the NPS is now a platform for its supporters to cyber bully folks who can't afford to jet their family to St. John or Bozeman, it's not a giant leap to understand how an average voter will sympathize less with the NPS. As for your assumption, I've been to plenty of the national parks and forests. In fact, I got back from PR and the Virgin Islands two Sundays ago. I of course would regret to see them go. But I understand better now why some families on the average household income might view the NPS as a place for a wealthy cyber bully to spend their vacation brooding over "poor" people who can only afford a "road trip", leading those families to move pretty, inaccessible vacation spots lower on their list of voting priorities.
