I live in the middle of a National Forest. We have trash dumps in it that is are least fifty years old. I have never seen them haul away a thing and yet their job is to manage the land. Why should we pay them to do nothing but tell us what not to do and then use volunteers to do the actual work? They aren't public servants, they are dictators. In a few years, I doubt the public will even be allowed on "their" land.

My wife and I hopped a gate in a coastal Georgia national park one fine Saturday morning. When the ranger found us hiking along a service road, he advised that the park was only open 9 to 5 weekdays. He told us, without a trace of irony, that we could be fined for trespassing.

National Forests are admnistered by the Department of Agriculture, not Interior, which is responsible for National Parks, Monuments, and a couple of other designations that I don't remember offhand.
