Dear HCN:
I’d like to comment on
Scott W. Reed’s opinion, March 20, that “there should be no free
lunch for recreationists.”
Here we are again: a
bewildered and beleagured public losing another freedom we take for
granted. I’m wondering, what’s a recreationist? It’s no doubt a
person, probably a human, out for a stroll over the land, enjoying
an evening by firelight, the stars, coyote howls, a sunrise, a
moonset in the twilight sky. We should pay a bureaucratic patriarch
for this experience? I thought it was a
birthright.
