You do have to laugh until a bit of sadness sets in because for many this is their frame of reference. What about Central Park makes it like the wilderness, the trees?<br />It does seem that even the NYPD unions believe they should be above the law. What better indicator of a place than those who represent its legal system?Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-54306426465434218782011-10-31T05:55:19.460-07:002011-10-31T05:55:19.460-07:00After growing up in rural Minnesota, and living in...After growing up in rural Minnesota, and living in Colorado, I was quite amused while in New York, to hear people talking about Central Park as a, "Marvelous bit of Wilderness right here in The City." I do love visiting "The City," but often find folks there are far more parochial than us rubes out here in Flyover Country.Corsair, The Mostly Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322481364685249310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-62064386921042360472011-10-31T04:58:39.548-07:002011-10-31T04:58:39.548-07:00I used to belong to a number of environmental grou...I used to belong to a number of environmental groups and the ACLU. The wages of a mis-spent youth and failure to see these people for what they are in most cases. They may seem green on the outside, but for most they are red on the inside. <br />Most of them don't give a whit about the environment. Much as the ACLU does not care a whit about civil rights or they would be defending, like FIRE, those who are challenging much of the Left's dogma.<br />The Arbor Foundation and Nature's Conservancy are good groups or were the last time I checked.<br />The vast majority who live in places like Manhattan have never seen nature up close an personal. Life survives on death. These Manhattanites look down on man's role in the circle of life because most of them think they are above it. Just where do they think most of that food they consume comes from?<br />A question a Manhattanite will never ask themselves is where does all that garbage go they produce? If they know they believe that they have a perfect right to "dump" on the rest of the country.<br />It is the large metropolitan center that is the true environmental disaster. The vast majority of these attacks on farmers, et al is to cover the insatiable desires of the people who live in these centers at the expense of everyone else. What beside the supposed "cultural" events, that most inhabitants of these center never visit, do these centers really owe their existence?Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-77129138799055666412011-10-30T21:14:59.596-07:002011-10-30T21:14:59.596-07:00I have to wonder just how much pollution is added ...I have to wonder just how much pollution is added thanks to the demolition of damns.mythusmagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458869083534878283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-4745949978786845042011-10-30T15:03:30.393-07:002011-10-30T15:03:30.393-07:00Thanks for linking two of your excellent posts.Thanks for linking two of your excellent posts.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-6382399984988264482011-10-30T15:03:26.283-07:002011-10-30T15:03:26.283-07:00Thanks for linking two of your excellent posts.Thanks for linking two of your excellent posts.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-21868669486075006832011-10-30T14:46:11.619-07:002011-10-30T14:46:11.619-07:00Meanwhile, urban environmentalists confidently exp...Meanwhile, urban environmentalists confidently expect that someone, somewhere, somehow will provide them with the food and electricity that they demand.<br /><br />It's especially disturbing that this attitude can often be found among people, some of them quite prominent, in the "technology" industry...typically computer software people who know remarkably little about energy (even electricity) and even less about agriculture, and are convinced that their own industry need not be concerned about the grubby problems affecting what the pejoratively call "industrial-age companies."<br /><br />See <a href="http://photoncourier.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html#116170691210214436" rel="nofollow">frankly my dear, I do need a dam</a>, and <a href="http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/14746.html" rel="nofollow">Dancing on the Ruins</a>.David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.com
