The fact that kayaking the many navigable rivers of Yellowstone National Park is prohibited, is in and of itself, a classic example of modern hypocrisy. Is it unfounded, archaic, and rooted in ignorance. A rule that has been inherited and uncontested, supported by extraneous confounding arguments. Recreational permitting for the activity can, and will eventually be, permitted throughout the park's rivers. As older policy influences fade, unsupported and unreasonable policies will too.
