>Just this week, a public memo written by current Google staff urged that Dragonfly should be dropped because it “aids the powerful in oppressing the vulnerable.” 20th century rhetoric aside, I can see no way to massively censor the internet that will not be adopted shortly in its own flavor by every other country hand wringing over the latest overblown 'social crisis'. ""...can't you just make us a general purpose computer that runs all the programs, except the ones that scare and anger us? Can't you just make us an Internet that transmits any message over any protocol between any two points, unless it upsets us?"" - Cory Doctorow "Can't you make a search engine that will allow access to any information located on the web, unless it's something naughty in the eyes of the government?"

I absolutely do not want to contribute any sort of "guns r bad" vs "guns r good" type conversation on the lovely HN, but I think it is worth noting that (some) national parks are a hotbed for criminal activity. The large and largely untraveled open spaces are attractive to people who'd like to get away with things that would be too loud, smelly, or obvious anywhere else. I don't have stats in front of me (I will hunt later today), but N parks are not always the idyllic and peaceful nature place they should be, especially anywhere near Mexico.
