Democratic Veteran and South Knox Bubba have noticed that the Bush administration is working on privatizing the national parks.
I have been doing some research into this, to justify a statement to potential funders that the Republicans even want to sell the national parks. It seems that people think I’m a wild-eyed radical nutcase to even suggest that anyone would ever consider such a thing!
Here’s my raw notes, except I’ll turn them into links:
