We need to fire all of these extra federal employees who have nothing better to do than trump up charges and deploy swat teams and lawyers on innocent people on private property adjacent to their domain. We can offset these costs with their termination. We can fertilize the forests with their failures, and end all of their wasted paper they throw around in an effort to spare the trees. F*ckwads.

Appeals Court will deal with that crap. Ever since they started carrying guns everyone is afraid of these armed bureaucrats. Time to get some ACLU lawyers on this thuggery.

Actually, they should be paying Ansel and Virginia Best Adams' estate for the "Ansel Adams Wilderness", which spans just south of Yosemite across four government land management jurisdictions: Departments of Interior, Agriculture, State Parks and Federal Parks all share a piece of Ansel's Wilderness. Photography promotes the success and popularity the remote and spectacular public landscapes enjoy. Without this media, why would anyone travel so far into such remote and treacherous wilderness? Its out of touch with common sense and makes me think we need to hire someone else to make these decisions on our behalf. Its ridiculous to run our country with a bunch of government employees. We need to run it and they need to work at McDonald's if they can't generate revenue and manage budgets without taxing certain people who promote albeit profit off the public lands that belong to every citizen of the planet, even the distant future people who will one day benefit from the photography or other journalistic endeavors. I guess they figure Ken Burns and Ansel Adams types owe them something just because they have the authority and wear the stupid uniforms. No, I don't want fries with that.

TFA:

Like "off label" usage of prescriptions, using a frozen leg of lamb as a murder weapon, or spending money to fund all things evil and destructive? My point is that a product can and will do anything else, such as behaving in ways that people decide and control, be it malicious or mundane. Nobel invented dynamite, should he get his own prize for breakthroughs in bank vaults? This really sounds like a load of toad.

Especially the brainy mammals that crawled back into the ocean and grew a big nostril on the back of their necks. Dolphins and whales are genuinely intelligent and don't need AI in their robots.

....but its inferior to octopus when served on rice with wasabi.

The political accolades are deserved as well, but lets face it, southern Australia has a great deal of land and resources relative to the population and demand. I would expect higher standards from those who can meet them. I'm sure Australia will aim high in spite of their clear leadership, and their advantageous location.

That makes perfect sense since people in Japan originated from the mainland, and apparently they brought their stuff. I travel such a long road to the obvious. Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so. Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so.

Lawsuits are generally an unreliable alternative to income earned by full time employment. You can't sue "anonymous" any more than an organization should base a hiring decision on "anonymous" references or testimony.

Perhaps, the worst job market in decades is as much to blame as the candidate's desperation to come to terms with the hard reality: there are too many people available for hire, including and perhaps especially, those already employed and willing to jump ship, laterally. It seems "poaching" options are psychologically irresistible to committees who refer or decide hiring candidates that are a safe bet for a covered rear end.

I thought it was the Japanese who loved go... or am I just being racist?

They all look the same.

Now There's the racist.. slant...

(snare, tom-tom, snare, cymbal crash)

....and a dash of irony and a twist of silly symbolic gesturing. Its a pictogram like a Chinese character delivered from the government of Chinese characters. Its a quaint gesture of authority that is a very effective at getting our attention, but ultimately completely ineffective of meaningful results. They may delay, but they will not be successful at censoring reality from the appropriate or prescribed Chinese social conscious. I always liked the Peking Duck....sorry to see it duck duck Go.

Or else we'll wish we were.

No wonder world leaders make such short sighted decisions.

Plus the fact that nobody has perfected the crystal ball technology yet.

It's really not that bad. Minimal rules on aesthetics is ultimately a matter of taste. The content seems to be the relevant issue, and forgives one's poor taste. I recommend the "D'Anjou pear salad" if you can't stand the tacky tube.

Exactly.

Perverse incentives dilute the mission. Just like PBS gradually becoming another corporate media ho. It's prostitution plain and simple. Call it lobbying, or fundraising, or whatever you like, it doesn't change the fact that accepting this revenue, in this way, makes you their bitch.
