“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

National Parks
I don't think we should sell off our national parks, in the sole purpose of stimulating the economy. From the article it seems like national parks have a good steady stream of income coming through, and it doesn't seem to be helpful to put more people out of jobs. Preserving those national parks is more important to our history, than just their financial activities. Some things of historical value you can't truly put a price on, I think there are better ways for Congressman to find solutions than to just pension them off.
