| Message | By the way, only 27.89% of the people said the government should outlaw the designation of property for public parks. 27.89%!! You call that a majority? 22.04% said the government should fund and maintain a network of national parks and/or marine protected areas. 20.57% said the government should devolve park policy to local governments. 10.64% said the government should designate ecological preservation zones but do not fund their oversight. Obviously, the majority wishes for SOME sort of national parks to exist. This bill goes contrary to the people's will. |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
