That's just brilliant. I guess they don't care that visitors will be dropping from dehydration on the trails in the summertime because they couldn't buy a stinkin' bottle of water for their hike.

Stupid comment. There are many, many, many places throughout the Grand Canyon National Park where people can fill up their own container that is not intended to be disposible -- you know, the plastic containers available at just about every mini-mart and gift shop for about $2.00. I wish we didn't need a regulation like this, but when you have incredibly selfish, stupid, indifferent people who leave their trash behind, then unfortunately, we all have to suffer.

There is also the fiscal issue: Garbage is expensive and when the gov't is running trillion dollar deficits, every penny counts. I wish every gov't agency made a real effort to cut costs. A million here and a million there adds up to a lot of millions, which become billions. Time to suck it up.

Are you talking of the OUT-OF-WORK folks?

Heck; they ain't DOIN' nutthin', and they'd probably REALLY like to be able to afford a nice vacation; so let's just ship 'em to Northern Arizona with trash bags and kill (oops) two birds with one stone!!
