I think NPS is entirely different from Ren Faires, movies, etc. I believe the government collects enough money to be entirely and scrupulously accurate, even if they do not manage to get it into the hands of the folks who need it. I applaud that accuracy when it appears, whether or not the government is responsible.


I spent many years in college and continue in the Instituto Autodidattico to this day, but the best way to make sure crowd control is not an issue is to have a statue out front that says "you must be THIS historically accurate to come inside."

Intelligent and curious people will learn in all sorts of situations. However, I believe it was Dorothy Parker who first said You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think. And that goes double for her boyfriend.
