"Such is the naked essence of environmentalism: it mourns the death of one whale or tree but actually welcomes the death of billions of people. A more malevolent, man-hating philosophy is unimaginable.

The guiding principle of environmentalism is self-sacrifice: the sacrifice of longer lives, healthier lives, more prosperous lives, more enjoyable lives, i.e., the sacrifice of human lives. But an individual is not born in servitude. He has a moral right to live his own life for his own sake. He has no duty to sacrifice it to the needs of others and certainly not to the “needs” of the non-human."

So true. A wise man builds near a stream and shits away from it! They come from all over Europe and Japan to buy up Banff and other places of beauty and space because some people know what it is like to have no space.

Respecting Nature does not mean despising man--which is the crime she was rightfully denouncing. It simply means to use your brains so your kids don't get lead poisoning from the paint. It means knowing that your environment sustains you and that long and healthy lives require living and working smart. If you set a trap for a bear don't set it on the cow path...
