land taken out of cultivation near Santa Fe & now being "allowed to return to the natural state" has been cultivated since before the white man ever came to North America.

Shhhhhhh.... Richard.

Don't say that too loud or some will think you're racist for saying something derogatory about a non-caucasian culture.

But then again, those people are usually the same ones who display racism towards people and societies who merely want the same thing that these elitists already possess.

"No!... No!... you can't cut down the rain forest for farm or pastureland, or to build your house on.. And you certainly can't fish those oceans and rivers either.

Only WE are permitted to have that kind of lifestyle (and we're not going to give it up either)... Now shut up and go back to your urban slum (the one next to the garbage dump) and take your birth control pill."

Otherwise we'll just have to euthanize you all in order to save the planet's wildlife and pristine habitat (but we won't kill ourselves)


Yeah.. Richard. It's so easy to accuse other's of racism, or engage in self hate for the "sins" of your ancestors.

Just as it is easy to tell everyone else to change while giving up nothing yourself.

How many "environmentalist tree huggers" do you know who have chosen to live in the city? Not too many of them. Most of them live in wilderness areas where they can hike around enjoying those "spacious skies", and play a direct role in protecting the wilderness habitat that they are in fact infringing upon.
