"I asked myself what Thoreau would have done."
So this guy gets the bright idea to give away free copies of Henry's book in the parking lot of the park. Not so fast...what about book sales at the gift shop ??!! Is it the words, the packaging or the ideas that are really important for a visitor to take away from Walden.
Henry would have surely enjoyed the irony but without the added publicity that permeates all of life today. Let's see if he heads North to give away copies "The Maine Woods"....that truly will show his commitment to the cause since his actions will definitely cause less of a reaction up there. (If he sees anyone at all!)
Part of me agrees with his principle but I'd hate to risk any of the money that helps keep Walden special.
