Re: [RC] Why "Naturalists" are Doomed - Milroy Grosse

UMMM...that pretty much was your whole post other than some business about how humans pastured cows and now there is no natural grazing or something. Nothing about balance.
 
 
Maybe you left a paragraph off by accident.

Hi Kat - please read my entire post.  The critical part is where I talk about balance.  If you focus on the one paragraph that you isolated below, you'll miss the my point.

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.
