The federal government agencies abdicated their responsibility to protect these communities and their environment.

I've always felt a responsibility to create as comfortable and open a training environment possible, especially when dealing with such a sensitive subject. Most of the women who enroll in the basic program know very little about physical defense, and in some cases assertiveness may also be something contrary to their life's experience.

Doing something that everybody recognizes isn't any good and is a waste of money, simply to be able to say you've done something, doesn't translate to any success to me. It's manifestly unfair to point the finger at the park.

The move is a major step taken to enforce environment-related laws and help officials heighten their sense of responsibility in protecting the environment.

It's such a showcase facility that other government agencies are looking to come into our environment.

Does the federal government bear responsibility for what is happening now? ... Should they apologize for what is happening now?
