Occupy Yosemite

I am not sure how this is Hacker News, but assuming it is, I feel Yosemite is such a treasure, and so fragile, that the last thing I want to see are people tromping around it with no rangers around.

Sounds like a very bad idea.

>> Visitors do not need the government to use nature, including Yosemite.

Sure, but you do expect rescue crews to be dispatched when you get you're sorry ass lost in the wilderness.

This government shutdown joke will be a backfire at the White House the more they pull off more of this nonsense.

Not only people are pissed off that these stunts, but they will also recognize that we are probably better off with less non-essential governmental functions...which will be the ironic unintended consequences.

The tea party is shuting down the government to try to force the defunding of Obamacare, but then they're downplaying the inconvenience they're causing. I don't understand the tactic.
