    Default More Moab Geniuses



    Something about the rocks there must turn people into idiots. Andersen and Staten can add their names to the idiot list.

    Maybe I'm cynical, but idiocy has little to do with the rock. Globally, it's like the plague.

    Welcome to todays world. It seems no one has any respect for anything anymore. How many times do you pick up trash while your out wheeling these days. We keep trash bags as normal trail gear now. The direspectable people have some kids who are taught the same and become worse (yes Im looking at the generations that came after the X'ers). Sorry guys, I have zero respect for the most folks these days. I know I use respect a lot.

    That's why I asked Neil to join me on some of the clean up runs. As a result he respects our outdoors way more than most.

    I agree what is wrong with the people that "manage" these areas ? do they never learn that if you want to somehow keep an outdoor rock in the shape it is now you must guard it 24/7 ? leaving evidence of ones passing a spot is dam near ingrained in our brains and in 2-300 years if that rock still stands those names will be a new historical thing just like the cave paintings and drawings from ye olden days. Why do these threads keep popping up lol

    Looks like a reasonable sentence, I hope she got the bill for the clean up too. You can't fix stupid, but you can give it probation and community service.

    I was also struck by the irony, Prosecuting someone for modern graffiti while a short distance away they are protecting ancient graffiti (newspaper rock).

    I'm not apposed to a LIFE TIME BAN from all National Parks for her, just like the NO FLY BAN or the Soup Nazi. NO PARKS FOR YOU !

    I thought about this, and the only answer I can settle on is that at this place and point in time it is socially unacceptable so it's against a current law. Slavery and drowning witches have both been socially acceptable and legal at one point, so there is no real right or wrong to it; just more people dislike it than like it right now.

    If I want to see graffitti I'll stick to the urban areas, not National Parks.

    I'm sure there will be plenty evidence of our time on the planet in another 2,000 years. Whether or not "we" will still be around is another topic altogether.
