FW: [RC] Why "Naturalists" are Doomed - Mike Sherrell

Population reduction can be achieved without suicide.

I'f we're not careful, it'll be achieved through mass extermination due to
environmental degredation, though.

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.
