The following passage gives excerpts from an (entirely fictitious) article from The New York Times. This article describes a public debate over a proposal to turn all of North and South Dakota into a “prairie park.” (Note: North and South Dakota are sparsely populated states in the north central part of the U.S.)The proposed “prairie park” will be the largest park in North America. Supporters have said it will provide needed habitat for as many as two dozen endangered species, including the timber wolf, buffalo, bald eagle, golden eagle, and black-footed ferret.At Wednesday’s debate, the leader of the environmental group Parks Forever, Flora Green, acknowledged that four million people will need to be relocated to make room for the park, but she said that the total cost would not be excessive.“for $16 billion, we can pay the moving expenses of all the people affected by the park,” she said. “That’s a small, small price to pay to forever guarantee the preservation of a unique ecosystem.”An opponent of the proposal, Buck Speakes of Fargo, ND offered a different perspective.“You can’t begin to put a price tag on this kind of crazy idea,” he said. “This proposal would put four million people out of work forever. And you might as well burn all the homes and businesses. This country can’t begin to afford the cost.”
