Too many of these fields are being nibbled away by commercial developments at an alarming rate. Unless more effort is made to preserve them our progeny will be totally dependent on other people's interpretations (books, CDs, DVDs, etc.).

You can't say that on this forum! If you do, you'll be called an environmentalist whacko, a green Nazi, anti-business, anti-free enterprise, anti-property rights. Speaking as a right winger who works for historic preservation on a regular basis, I've been told that none of our historic lands need to be protected from sprawl, and that trying to stop them from being destroyed for the sake of a new Jiffy-Lube makes me a liberal.

Money is not God and those who have more of it than others aren't holy or even right just by having more of it than we do. I'm sick of how these irresponsible jerks constantly try to justify their atrocities for the sake of short-term profits at the expense of the irreplaceable. Keep up the good fight and thank you for trying to preserve our heritage.

I can't recall any threads like that, but I'll take your word for it. I will say that I engaged a hysterical woman from the Gettysburg area in a debate about the Battlefield restoration there. She was a borderline "greenie" that was AGAINST the restoration of the Battlefield because it involved logging certain tracts to restore the tree line to its "1863 look". I'm generally in favor of the Park Service's efforts in this regard, though I must say that I miss the observation tower.
