Steve, those of us who know the system well realize what you say, and that:

-There is no simple solution.
-There is no way 10,000 people a year won't have an impact
-There is no way to make everyone happy
-without some sort of permit process, there would be TWENTY thousand people a year up there
-The managers are dedicated people who are really trying to do their best

"We the unwilling, on behalf of the ungrateful, are doing the impossible.
We've done so much, for so long, with so little,
that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing."
