[RC] Why "Naturalists" are Doomed - k s swigartAngie Fura said: I think it stems from how I define "environment." In my opinion, its the natural state of the planet. Its not human centric where man has dominion over the earth and animals. I view humankind's industrialization and development of the planet as not natural and therefore a burden to the planet. It is statements like this that demonstrate why so many self-proclaimed naturalists or environmentalists are doomed to frustration and failure. Being human themselves, there is nothing they (or any other human for that matter) can do that is "natural." In this case, the only "natural" solution would be the extinction of humans. However, I have yet to hear a single environmentalists suggest this as an alternative, despite the fact that it is the logical conclusion to be drawn from the above (and oft) stated opinion. I find this hilariously funny. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
