Good article and the commercialization of parks everywhere is inevitable especially when the mind set is driven by the quarterly profit report.

For those of you who have not read this article..it's not a big deal..just some guy bringing up Ansel and talking about politics/oil drilling blah blah..very short read. I posted this not to start some debate or argue our opinions but apparently on Pnet..some think I have some agenda with posting it ..even though I posted it as I did here without any opinion of mine included..i thought it was fairly innocent. So.this in noway was for anyone to be offended by or to stir up any bashing and taking sides..i figured we are all friends here.

I must apologize for making a comment on your post as I was under the mistaken impression that that was what one does when something is posted. By the very fact that you post something comment is invited otherwise why bother posting in the first place. I still generally agree with the article and others may not which is fine too. I do not always agree with my friends but they are valued freinds all the same.

no not you..i was talking about photo.net when they were kind of on me about having some agenda for posting the article..you can discuss all you would like and voice your opinion openly..what i mean to say is that the people on other forum took it as me being deceitful and trying to stir up some anger with a political article being posted ..which was not my intention at all..i just wanted you all to know that so nobody got bent out of shape here.
nikon bob..your views are respected by me.. =)
oh boy..i just went on Photo.net and they took down the article.. it must've really ticked more people off.

Lonius, I used the word "deceitful" and didn't mean it to be applied to you.
I meant it to be applied to the people who suggested Ansel wasn't aggressively a classic Sierra Club environmentalist. He was one, right up front. On the occasion that I saw his prints for sale in the Sierra Club HQ in 1969 they were only worth a half million or so. Today that one donation would be worth millions.
Ansel isn't misrepresented in the article you posted, and you did right.

Must .... resist .... commenting .... on current .... political .... "leadership"
Zion is my favourite national park. (No, I haven't visited them all.) I haven't been there in nearly 25 years. Given what I have read about the increased crowds there, I don't know if I'd like it nearly as much. (There's a Zion thread over on APUG, with some interesting observations.)
The thought of commercial ruin of Zion is unbearable, as it is of other wild places that are truly a heritage for all.
