- Yes, please start with yourself
- Glavnokoman 6y agoNo. That would not help. This is the case when it is better to start from the neighbor and not yourself.
- mcnamaratw 6y agoDo the bears really care which person bothers them? I've lost my nose for irony at this point.
- miscPerson 6y agoAuthoritarians always argue that. Starting with yourself, while making a negligible impact, makes an impact that is positive (according to you) and shows your commitment to enacting that policy. Have integrity: do it first.
- munk-a 6y agoSorry but "practice what you preach" isn't a valid response to talking about systemic issues.
- jdminhbg 6y agoNeither is "systemic issues" a get out of jail free card for taking personal responsibility.
- miscPerson 6y agoPracticing what you preach demonstrates your sincerity. Why should people believe you’re genuinely arguing that the thing is worth doing, rather than acting out selfish authoritarian impulses, if you’re not actually willing to do that thing?
- viklove 6y agoNever been to Yosemite, you? I would like to go one day, but I'd be happy to wait in a gov't queue to help limit human intrusion in wildlife preserves.
- option 6y agobeen there many times. Now only visit in winters. The solution is really simple - for a fixed supply (e.g park) the prices should just go up enough to lessen the demand
- vlunkr 6y agoExcept we can't really call parks "public land" if we do that. The prices are not meant to be there to make a profit.
