you seem to have missed the point. what's the point in allowing people to go to a park in such a way that it destroys the park? a national park simply cannot handle a limitless amount of traffic. i went to rocky mountain national park

it is always curious to me that the west, and particularly the united states, refuse to believe their own actions and behavior don't affect the behavior of other countries. the united states has been ignoring this effect for years in p

it is true for things that matter. of course in china, there are stricter rules for citizens on speech and writings. however, who cares that i can tweet the president whatever i want within reason? is that freedom? i don't have any pow
