This is why we need to be leery of government.
It’s not because government is always “evil”. It’s not because all people working in government are self absorbed power hungry influence brokers. It’s not because of man’s natural desire to rule their own world; whatever world that is.
Now, to be sure, some or all of that exists, but the vast majority of the people who make up government are honest hard working folks.
The problem with government is that it creates the wrong incentives.
And the North Carolina State Parks is no exception.
