From the interview with the ARC president:
“two years ago, we authored legislation in Congress that would have allowed a corporation to become some kind of an exclusive supporter of the national parks or a specific national park. We were fine-tuning it when our progress was interrupted by a series of Doonesbury cartoons. Cartoonist Gary Trudeau was prompted by an environmental organization to target this concept with the humorous notion that a national park might actually be sold to a company and renamed something like “Kodak’s Grand Canyon.””
Way to go Gary!
