The article from Huffington post explains how our national parks are becoming polluted and destroyed year after year, and if nothing is done to try and keep them alive then we will lose them forever, but our politicians in office only care about the financial aspect of our country and not the land that helped to start it. So much money gets spent every year on things like war, and how to stay alive longer, but what is all that worth if we can't live in our country and take in the vast beauty that nature has given us. Yes, i do understand that we must protect our country, but when we use our funds to build a $145,000,000 missile that is only used once it makes me pissed off that we didn't use that money to fix the problems that we have in our oceans, parks and nature overall. Nearly Trillions of dollars are spent on war and security and only a couple of million is used for thousands of projects that are in nature and some of the only times that we ever put more in is if there is a crisis like the oil spill that recently happened, and even then we needed foreign help to find a solution and clean it up. We have all gotten so corrupt that everything that our land stood for is now under a thick layer of filth that our shit covered souls had produced. How can we ever hope to live in a country that we love if the purest side of it is destroyed by fucked up politicians, people who never give a shit, and ignorance that flows as thick as the sludge that we dump into the very waters we swore to protect? I really hope that something is done about this before all of this is too late.

Loss of Funds for National Parks
I find it hard to find a good reason to cutback on funds that go towards such beauty like our national parks. The wonder that is yellowstone park is falling on hard times and the government is doing very little to help preserve the park and many like it throughout the states, and if we can't preserve the land that we live on then how do we expect to try and fix anything else? So many plants and animals will start to disappear if these parks continue to be ignored by our government, and that simply cannot happen. These parks hold vast amounts history and splendor that every person in America should have the opportunity to enjoy. If these politicians would try to focus fixing these great parks that their forefathers built to keep this land preserved and pure in nature, instead of trying to fill their pockets with cash and the american mind full of distrust.

I have chosen to comment on the article “Loss of Funds for National Parks” written by J.B Newhouse. I’ll start of by saying I agree with the author’s argument of the government not doing enough to preserve our national parks. Our government must really start to take into consideration the state of health that some of national parks are in and they must act quickly. As the author pointed out, what’s the point of the government spending a ton of money on getting people to live longer when they are just setting them up to live in a unhealthy environment due to lack of preservation by the United States government. I like how the author points out that we spent 145,000,000 on a missile that we’ll only use once, it makes you really wonder about the decision making is being made in our government system. Now I also do realize that national security is a focal point of most countries around the world but, a country still must be willing to take care of its national land in order to make their country a place where people feel safe, healthy, and want to spend the rest of their lives. I like how the author is not afraid to speak his mind, and how he strongly defends his opinions by making very blunt statements. I really liked reading this blog because I could really feel the author’s anger and frustration towards the government for the lack of funds that have been sent to national parks.
