So I fly to the USA and one of the things I came here to do was visit the Grand Canyon. Seems the US Govt has now blocked this off to everyone.
WTF!
Why would they do this?

Oh? It's blocked? Men with guns are being paid by the government to block access to how many bloody square miles of territory? Or are drones now programmed to automatically shoot any humanoid figure there without IFF patches and refuel at the nearest gas station and not pay for it?

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Men with guns are being paid to block it. I doubt the drones but you never know I guess. It's a massive geologic feature. Easiest-beaten line of Red Rover, EVER.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/30/politics/government-shutdown-up-to-speed/index.htmlhttp://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_24209569/government-shutdown-closing-national-parks-could-spark-publicWith a federal government shutdown, padlocks are expected to begin going up Tuesday at the gates of hundreds of national parks across the United States from Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay to the Washington Monument. Thousands of visitors will be sent home, and local businesses will suffer.
During the last government shutdown, for 28 days in 1995, national park closures sparked waves of angry calls to Congress and the White House.
"Once the shutdowns began, the reaction from people who wanted access to the parks was absolutely incredible," Bruce Babbitt, who was U.S. Interior Secretary at the time, said in an interview Monday.
"The first call I got was from the governor of Wyoming, who was having a fit. He was saying 'You have to open Yellowstone. This is an outrage. Do something!'"
The Republican governor of Arizona, Fife Symington, sent National Guard troops to the Grand Canyon in an attempt to keep the park open, rather than risk losing tourism. Eventually, Arizona officials paid the National Park Service through state funds and donations to keep famous sites along the South Rim open. The Interior Department announced its shutdown plans last Friday, saying it would close all national parks and give guests at hotels in national parks two days to make other plans and leave. The park service will keep a small number of employees on the clock, according to its contingency plan. http://www.doi.gov/shutdown/fy2014/upload/NPS-Fact-Sheet.pdfOf course the congress critters are still paying themselves and the military that keeps them in power. It's the Republicans demonstrating that they are the bought-and-paid-for stooges of companies with over 50 employees who don't want to pay for healthcare for their employees. "The one exception to the legislative futility was a bill to ensure that military service members would be paid during the shutdown. Obama signed it into law late Monday night."

When government employees don't get what they want, they immediately resort to taking hostages. They are the single most infantile, narcissistic, and entitled segment of society by far.
