Ranger Randy has acquired machine guns - now he is a member of the Armed and Rangerous.
You might like the latest issue of eco-logic, found at freedom.org. Look for an article called The Morning After The night Before. It is about one of the Armed & Rangerous.

That's a very interesting article, I think you ought to post it.
These days it's not unusual for a Ranger, if he finds you in the Park, to act like you're a peasant caught trespessing in the King's forest. Last I looked, the Parks were created for the people to enjoy, but I suppose that is an outdated viewpoint.
30 years ago I used to enjoy chatting with the rangers at the ramp at Flamingo, especially Vivie Thue, who was usually there in those days. Things have changed, though.
