when I was a kid. It was less crowded then, but still had its share of idiots.

People were especially stupid around the bears. I remember one woman actually getting out of her car and offering a bag of potato chips to a bear. The bear charged. She made it back to her car.

Some of these people need to be arrested and banned from the park.
