Historians have the luxury of time, for sorting out fact from fiction. The truth will surface and has staying power. Politicians that lied can't go back and change what they said once it is History.
I wish democratic candidates would concentrate just telling the truth without any exaggerations the truth is amazing enough. The Republican candidates are locked into the lies of their President. Triple your staff and use for fact checking, then you will have something great for a mailer. all the glossy pamphlets for candidates look the same.
I see your point about wanting the dam removed and the Colorado River and Glenn Canyon restored back before 1956. But look at the positive things the dam generated like cheap electricity, jobs building the dam and all the employment from Lake Powel. Also the millions of people that got to enjoy the beauty of the southwest by boat, they got to see the side canyons less a few hundred feet. In the last 60years without the dam only a few thousand people would have seen Glen Canyon not the millions that vacation on Lake Powell. Maybe because of the dam being built you and the others hired to document the Archeology sites got to see Glenn Canyon, just a thought.
