re: #25 calochortus

1) You can cut down on vandalism with fewer people than it takes to block access to the monuments. The govt couldn’t prevent vandalism of the Lincoln Memorial before the shutdown.

2) Thanks for playing into the Right Wing meme that this is all about Obama deliberately hurting the American public.

I have no problem with much of what is being shut down (I mean, other than my problem with the shutdown in general). The OMB has to make choices and Park have to be very low on the priority list. I do have a problem with them expending extra resources to close down open air memorial just to prove a point.
