I was wrong; people really will step up to solve problems

[IronWing]

Last month I laughed at the idea of Joe Sixpack stepping up to fill the vacuum left by a shuttered govmint.

Today, Joe Sixpack strutted his stuff. Last week the Corps of Engineers announced that they will start cleaning up unexploded ordnance at a WWII era artillary range outside of town next week. The area is open to the public. The local radio news reports that artifact hunters have been out there potholing this week trying to find the good stuff before the Corps takes it all. Mea culpa.

A few links and move to P&N would do justice to this thread.

when people were trolling about the national parks being closed down, I suggested citizens would step up and help maintain them. OP didn't think this was even possible. Several others joined in giving me virtual tbags over it.

I'm not sure what it has to do with what he is talking about now though...
