How better to keep LAND out of the HANDS of the Proletariat?

How I HATE the Nation we’re currently forced to live in!

ALL of these b@stards need to go!

Short answer - turn these “non-viable” National Park lands over to the BLM, who may then operate the land for the benefit of the Chinese government.

Just another income stream for Sen. Harry Reid (D-Beijing).

Having visited and hiked in maybe a dozen of the great parks of the West, and having lived ten years in the Sonoran desert, which was not park land, I can only say that the National Park System is a godsend and a miracle.

I realize many here have never been to a real National Park. These birthplaces and such are hardly the gems of the system. And there is nothing east of the Mississippi, except marginally the Great Smokies, that compares to the vast canyon country of the Upper Colorado Plateau or the wonderlands of the high north or the spectacles of Yosemite.

I have seen, in contrast, what the private sector has done to otherwise unspoiled lands which, once compromised, are gone forever. Thank God we have had the wisdom to keep irreplaceable beauty from the grubby, mindless, destructive hands of the proletariat.
