Thanks for the polling effort and for openly discussing the unfortunate wording. Its really just a technicality and we shouldn't lose sight of the goal.
Let stay focused on the goal- the importance for wilderness managers to solicit and respect public opinion, if for no other reason than to make their job easier. People cooperate better when they feel part of the process, even if it doesn't go the way they wanted. We've seen firsthand on Whitney the effect of circumventing public process and then trying to solicit public cooperation. Its counter productive to ignore the input of the governed, especially for wilderness management where little oversight is possible.
So thanks again, Roleigh.
