Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the SEC “Notice Rule" pertaining to Natural Asset Companies. Unfortunately, the proposed rule is so poorly worded as to suggest nefarious purpose, mostly like the theft of public waters, public wildlife, etc., or perhaps just the degradation of public watersheds and public lands, or maybe even the right-wing extremist goal of privatizing all things publics. Certainly, it is an effort to monetize nature. Whichever, whatever, the rule is clearly badly written and thus clearly bad. The very concept of natural asset companies is bad too. Two fatal errors. That's enough to discard the proposed rule, the proposed resource grab. Obviously, I agree with Representative Harriet Hageman who said that natural asset companies and the proposed rule change “could be used to privately ‘monetize’ national parks, national wildlife refuges and other protected lands, such as areas of environmental concern.” The rule as written could certainly facilitate that. And that is wrong, wrong, wrong. Our national park system was the first in the world, an American invention of which we all can be proud. Our conservation of public lands, albeit not perfect, is better than private efforts on scale - even that of the Ayn Rand worshipping board of the Prairie Reserve, which is located in my state of Montana. The fact that the Prairie Reserve hides behind a public image of public service while working to undermine our national park system is evidence that mistrust is due. Furthermore, our public land agencies set the world standards for conservation, again not perfect, still works in progress, but works on public resources for the public good with public participation in decision making - just as I am participating now in your decisionmaking process. Democratic participation in decision making, transparency, checks and balances -- these may be messy, but they beat any privatized scheme! Please scrap the proposed rule. Reject it. Bury with nuclear waste never to be dug up again.
