It was 45 years ago this month that LBJ signed the Wilderness Act of 1964 into being. Now, to commemorate that, President Obama has declared September to be National Wilderness Month. Nice gesture, but is it a glimpse of a commitment to protect more wilderness, or is it merely words? Being the cranky old bastard I am, I suspect the latter.
The prez also called on all Americans to appreciate, learn more about, and do what we can to protect our precious wild lands. So, Mr. Obama. What say you put some muscle behind those words and throw your support to NREPA? Hell, you are the president after all...
