The beauties of nature are amazing. They\u2019re also not all warm and fuzzy. A large group of people today want to return the world to a state of nature by: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doing away with the power grid which supports our cities and life styles wherever we live;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Removing cars, trucks and ships which supply the necessities on which we live; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stop all mining; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stop large scale agriculture; and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fantasizing about what life in nature is like to justify the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My two books which will be coming out are based upon the opposing points of view involved. Just to avoid accusations of being a shill for industry (as if it were possible to avoid that accusation), let me say I have my Eagle Scout award from Boy Scouts of America and spent thirty years as an adult scout leader. I have been out there, in other words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The background of much of what is in the book, including the actual incidents described in some places, will be included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
