Just shows how little you know. The national park is to protect other 
species from you, which can't protect themselves. You can still endanger
your own life in plenty of other places.

You can still think for yourself -- that is, if you were capable of it
prior to the Desert Bill, which I seriously doubt. You think it's bad for
someone else to control your life, but you don't think it is bad for you
to control (and destroy) the lives of other people and other species.
Luckily, most people don't agree with you, which is why the bill passed.
