on why the us park service gives me hives

interested in a lucid presentation of the problems with public land management in the country? look further, because this is a rant. here we go. problem number one: insane fees. wait a minute here, it's supposed to be "public" land right? so why do i have to pay $50 for a national parks pass, $50 for a national park fishing pass, $60 for a state park pass (haven't a clue what the fishing/hunting/breathing whatever pass is), $45 for a national forest pass, extra cash for fish and game lands, not to mention having to by a fishing permit just for each state i want to fish in (about $50 a state) (you think i'm making this up don't you), etc. etc. and of course all that cash is used for wonderful goals like building shopping centers, jails (no, seriously, yosemite has a jail!), rv hookups, and other ammenities to provide silly americans all the comforts of home, that weren't supposed to be there in the first place! my goodness, i'd pay good money to have these things removed). i went fishing the other day, ended up at the wrong place, bought some day pass (national forest, state park who knows?), found out i was in the wrong place, went to the right place (about 1 mile away) and had to buy another freaking pass because it was a different "public" land? the boundry lines are so vague too, you never know what jurisdiction you're in. of course we need to pay all that because we have to hire all the wonderful rangers to make sure you don't sneak in and hand you tons of brochures on how not to get eaten by bears and stuff. well, i feel better now. thanks for letting me vent. wait a minute, not done yet. want my opinion, if you don't realize that you shouldn't sleep with beef jerky stuffed in your pockets, you should probably just stay in the city.
