I myself wonder what would be the answer to this, but usually answers are not so easy to come up with. One has to take into account, such as cost, who is responsible for bringing a solution, and so on. It will be interesting to see how this pans out, because I do not believe that we will close our national parks, as they are a treasure. I do wonder if we will bring in privateers to cover cost, by commercializing and selling the names of these places, which would in and of itself ruin a sense of the majesty, but would be a compromise that would protect the land. I'm not saying I'm in favor of this, but we will have to see who leads the charge, and can actually do something about saving our parks.

It would be tragic if we were to lose so many of these special places. but what is missing is some concrete proposal for protecting them. Howser suggests that we need a long term better way to finance the park system like..... what? It sounds hard to argue with but you didn't flesh out what we are talking about. Is it some type of public/private foundation that operates outside of government? How much money are we talking about? It doesn't say in your article (The answer is 9 million). I respect and share your passion for the parks but we as citizens need to start making choices about what the government should provide for. If the parks are important and worth keeping, and I believe they are, then instead of simply saying it is unfair to close them, we need to say that we are wiling to accept less elsewhere.
