Burns is sort of typical liberal....half interesting, half pretty stupid. Take for instance his recent documentary on America’s national parks. Burns made the incredibly stupid assertion that national parks was America’s best idea. No, not the U.S. being a democratic republic, or freedom from kings and queens, or no inherited rights. Yes, national parks (which I love to visit) is America’s best idea according to Burns. Even a number of liberal historians in the doc. disagreed with Burns about that.
I don’t understand a documentary about national parks. I mean was it endless photos of rest rooms and canteens and the occasional pretty vista?
