Enough bullshit that we ignore rural areas and small towns

I am weary of folks coming to the Big Sky and treating it like friggin’ Disneyland. Folks come to Yellowstone and Glacier NP and assault Bison and Grizzly bears and bitch and whine when they get gored or mauled. They go off trail and get burned in hot pots and destroy millions of years of natural wonders because they don’t care about it and value it or because the rules don’t apply to them. They pack garbage in and don’t pack it out. They litter rivers when they float them and the caretakers of our beautiful rushing rivers have to clean their beer cans, bottles and cigarettes out of them every fall when water levels are low. People in urban areas absolutely look down on those of us fortunate enough to live in this place. Those comments are all over this thread. I also hear the blah blah blah frequently on DU about how Jon Tester isn’t a good Democrat. You know what people? Jon Tester is the last line of defense against our wild places being sold to the highest bidder which may or may not give you any heartburn but it changes our lives permanently and your vacation spots will be g o n e never to return.
