9/05/2008 7:47 pm - Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them : Whether or not one chooses the word genocide to describe the actions of the European settlers, traders, politicians, Indian Agents, etc. is a moot point. The evidence contained in a multitude of historical records is fairly clear regarding the knowing behavior of certain groups who sought to gain an advantage ...
9/04/2008 11:35 am - Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them : You'll be hard pressed to find one treaty that the US goverment has honored in the past 200 years with ANY Native American tribe, regardless of content and motivation. This country was "settled" by homesteaders in the name of Eminent Domain, with little or actually no regard for peoples already ...
9/04/2008 10:59 am - Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park : Kurt- It might work, but we'll have to do a blind taste-test for the invitees. I'll tell 'em its diet-lean ground round initially so nobody's the wiser. When everybody has their gullet filled and the truth comes out, clear the path to the vomitorium..........
9/04/2008 10:05 am - Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park : Before anybody gets their shorts in a knot over this rare bacterial infection, consider the following: Reservoirs include cattle, swine, goats, sheep, dogs and various wildlife species infected with the organism. Wildlife species found infected include bison, feral hogs, elk, caribou, deer and coyotes. So maybe we should consider killing ...
9/02/2008 5:10 pm - Have High Gas Prices Deterred Travel within Theodore Roosevelt National Park? : If only there were a direct correlation between pump price and barrel price, but alas, once Big Oil Brother knows the American Sucker will tolerate a given level of gouging, the overall scenario will remain much as it currently stands, with the consumer whining but paying, and oil execs wetting ...
9/01/2008 4:27 pm - Plague Kills Many Prairie Dogs and Black-Footed Ferrets in Grasslands Near Badlands National Park : Nope, missed the sarcasm completely due mainly to multiple references in prior threads pertaining to the same culprit as the basis for all the world's ills, along with the same self-righteous fool of an ex-VP being touted as the "hero" of the planet. Global warming advocates consistently point to carbon ...
9/01/2008 10:03 am - Plague Kills Many Prairie Dogs and Black-Footed Ferrets in Grasslands Near Badlands National Park : Bob- I most certainly hope that the referenced statement does NOT come from a previous background or current program of study in biological sciences. My reference is specific to the position that had I been reviewing a thesis related to topics in virology, E&E research, pathogenic microbiology, biochemistry, molecular or ...
9/01/2008 7:12 am - Plague Kills Many Prairie Dogs and Black-Footed Ferrets in Grasslands Near Badlands National Park : [i]It appears that the rampant global warming that we have caused by our abuses has bought some time forre the treatment process.[/i] If I had read this statement in your dissertation, your defense would have failed immediately and I would have ousted you from the program. To what evidence do ...
8/31/2008 9:39 am - Is Technology Compatible With The National Park Wilderness Experience? : Aron Ralston; (n) 1) a foolish child; 2) an accident waiting to happen. An egotistical, ill-prepared adventurer, who over-estimated his ability and, without thorough and proper preparation or simple notification to friends or authorities, embarked on a wilderness trek alone, without adequate supply or sufficient local knowledge, miscalculated a relatively ...
8/31/2008 12:12 am - Paying To Understand U.S. History in the National Park System : And this is an exemplary point of why the entire NPS system should be removed from federal "management". If each individual unit is to function as a self-supporting entity, requiring each to be fiscally responsible (solvent) and able to independently support the activities, personnel and facilities within their boundaries, fees ...
