I left the US in 1984, up to that point I always thought of Americans as mostly sensible people, if nothing else they seemed to care about their national parks. Not so any more it seems, it looks like the whole country is going down the pan:

Surely they should be a state problem and not a gov't problem.
I concur, America is a beautiful country, with many amazing sights.
Personally if I were the Don, I would be giving Kalifornia back to the Mexicans.

Having a beer in a sidewalk bar in NO and some kids come and ask for our empty beer cans.
"Are you collecting them for refund?"

Labour Day weekend in the State Parks and Spring Break in Ft Lauderdale, millions of 18 to 30-year-olds and an ocean full of beer being drunk. But no trouble, no fights and people cleaned up afterwards before going home, a great time was had by all. Transition to today and the linked articles above and nobody gives a hoot, what changed, did somebody pop a pill into the water supply?

Various reasons. One maybe that people stand up for their rights and conveniently forget those rights go with duties.
