| Category: Ecofundamentalism Over at Envirospin Watch, Prof. Em. Phil Stott has a great article which begins: I'm so glad I am not an ecofundamentalist. To be a 'Green Bunny' is to doom oneself to perpetual unhappiness, frustration, and anger with your fellow human beings and the state of the world. The reason is simple. Ecofundamentalism is utopian (and remember "utopia" means "nowhere"). People will just not do what you demand. You are never going to achieve even a smidgen of your desires, and whatever you do manage to squeeze from a reluctant and unconvinced populace, you will always, like Oliver Twist, be left wanting more.I couldn't agree more. [You will probably have to search the archives. The date for the article is Sunday, October 09, 2005. It is well worth the effort] |
