cripplecreek, we live in a very isolated, rural area in Arizona and we feel exactly the same way. It’s really irritating to have these people tell us how to treat the environment. They come up here, trash the place. We have to clean up after them and rescue them when they get their stupid, green asses in trouble.
To be environmentally conscious, live in an place that will kill you if you don’t pay attention. Makes a difference.
By the way, I’m not a Glen Beck fan, but am proud that there was such a good turn out.
Why do they become vegetarians? Not because they think it's healthier--it's to avoid the anxiety that comes from eating meat--acceptance of death. Why are they absurdly anti-war? Same reason.
They flock to urban centers where people are supreme, and where nature has been subdued or eliminated. Seems odd for environmentalists, but it isn't. The city is the greatest example of man's attempt to recreate the world, recreate the environment, and to CONTROL the world and the environment. It's a perfect place for people who can't accept life as it is.
Meanwhile, those who live out "in the country" are far less squeamish about the realities of life, because even in merely ex-urban areas, one can observe nature in action, and it's hard to miss the implications.
I watch the nervous chipmunk sneaking around. I like chipmunks. My wife loves 'em. They are cute. But in this world, they are also prey, and must fear for their lives at all times. I observe the violent horror show that is the average fishing hole. A little frog hops across some lily pads. If he falls into the water in the wrong spot, or just lands on the wrong pad, he'll find himself in a bass's belly before he has time to react. Perch eat smaller perch. Pickeral eat damn near anything. Frogs eat other frogs. It's a beautiful pond, a wonderful "ecosystem", but it's also a nasty, monstrous place.
Nature is violent. It's beautiful, too. The country person is more in tune with the true nature of this world. The libs want the beauty without the teeth that come with it. So they live in concrete cities, where "parks" represent nature. They rebel against nature. They cry for "peace", as if that is something this world has ever offered. They simply can't accept life as it is. I think the word is neurotic.
sorry for the long rant. have a nice sunday morning.
If you've been in the Tucons to Tombstone area, it must break your heart. The area where the illegals cross is strewn with trash, even across the highway. We were headed toward Benson the first time when we saw it and we were stunned.
Trash strewn about all over the place, as if they crossed the border carrying a weeks worth of garbage and dumped it there.
It was not just an insult, it was an environmental disaster.
And Obama is suing us because we want to stop this! Unreal...
