Our friendly park rangers have become a para military force and a rather totalitarian one at that.
Example is how they acted during the last government shutdown in the Olympic National Forest and Park. Totally irrational and with out due process.
We may think we're a free country, but not really. We cannot even move about anonymously from point A to point B without being recorded multiple times. They have their hands in everything. From light bulbs to gasoline, from investments to deposits, from what you drive to how you warsh your clothes. Everything...and it's not just the federals either.
Federal, state, county, municipal governments have us OVER lawed, over regulated. Well...one exception I can think of, border jumpers.
