I think the parks are among the least important of all the government functions. I say that with full knowledge that a few private businesses, who benefit from their relationship with Uncle Sam, may suffer. I guess anyone can cherry pick their pet functions and find something to be upset about. The people crying the loudest are the ones who insist we don't need government for all but national defense. Kind of ironic that they are whining about being deprived of recreational activities of all things due to a shutdown that was a direct result of their own party's incompetence. Baby's candy has been takinen from him, call a wahhhmbulance!
