The National Parks: America's Best Idea | PBS

Seriously, I've been waiting awhile to watch this and just 15 minutes in it does not fail to disappoint. Catch Ken Burn's National Park series.

Catch Mr. Burns on Rachel Maddow's show last week:

I love that it takes a liberal to explain our nation best. From the Civil War to Baseball to the Settling of the West to World War II to this, Burns documents our nation like no one else. I sincerely hope this his vision of America is what prevails in the future.

Otherwise, our children and their children will see this nation as nothing more than a corporate sponsorship to force a white majority power over the population, stripping hard earned rights as they go. They'll see our natural beauty as something to rape and sully in the interests of destroying the Earth to force some narrow-minded Armageddon that only crazy bastards like them would benefit from.

I know this nation is better than that. We advance and prosper by giving people the power. "A more perfect union", remember? We are morally superior by being careful stewards of the land, not "drill, baby, drill" chanting psychopaths.

Either way, I'm going to enjoy the show and encourage you to catch it and do so yourself.
