While we're at it, let's also ask for peace in the Middle East and an end to world hunger. We can get an increase in funding but the NPS will never be fully funded any more than ...
- 3/03/2008 4:46 pm - Of Geologists, Paleontologists, And Science in the National Park System : Adequate funding is undeniably important, but money that comes tied to a political agenda can just mask the problems. If they give you money to spend on science and tell you have to spend it on A when what you really need is B, it's as bad as if you ...
- 3/03/2008 10:26 am - Of Geologists, Paleontologists, And Science in the National Park System : Why couldn't people be hired in the future? It's obvious that this is all about the individuals and not the positions.

- 2/25/2008 10:28 pm - Clinton, McCain, Obama Answer Questions on National Parks : I like Obama's committment to listen to scientific advisers and to addressing the funding shortfall of the NPS. I hope he follows through.
- 2/25/2008 10:18 am - Dinosaur National Monument: Paleo's Not The Only Responsibility : So now the NPCA is a dupe of the NPS? The NPCA is independent, sometimes it supports the NPS, sometimes it opposes it. Sounds like you can’t tolerate any other point of view.
