All these specials on PBS this weekend.
Grow a beard and tell everyone how smart you are.
Give me a break.
Thoreau, Muir, Leopold, Pinchot.
Ahead of their time?
No, you smug little intellectuals.
The real earth ethic was already here.
Before Gore Tex and REI.
Before Stetsons and barbed wire.
Even before Columbus and Leif Erickson.
"Is it really important for a boy to learn the name of a wild animal, what it eats, where it lives, and how it rears its young while at the same time the boy never gets to live near the animal? Would it not be better to let nature be, and let the boy live with unspoiled affection for all creatures, instead of teaching him to boast of knowledge?"
this one is most important:
Nothing belongs to you
of what there is,
of what you take,
you must share."
- Chief Dan George
