More on me and how I am not a Nazi hippy

I understand why some people enjoy hunting. I enjoy fishing. I eat meat and enjoy it and dont feel guilty. I can see fishing from the fisherman's point of view, even though I do tend worry about the status of today's fisheries (but unlike that crazy Peta guy that was on Fox news last month, I do not think killing a fish is equivalent to killing a cat or dog). I understand why we have to cut down trees; although I support riparian buffers and selective logging. I LOVE offroading; but I break for wildlife. I don't like dams; but I realize right now the only logical alternative to making energy is nuclear power and I am not sure how I feel about that either; so for now, I support dams engineered with things like fish ladders and ways to deal with sediment build up. I drive a Rav-4. So I am either a Bill-Clintonesque moderate or the biggest hypocritcal Nazi-hippy you have ever met in your life. You decide.

Here is one way that I am a Nazi Hippy---> I hate, unless I find myself in Australia one day, Eucalyptus trees....more on this on a future post discussing "ECOSYSTEM"ism.

Hypocrit

So, today I read a quote from Stephen J Gould saying people who like biodiversity tend to think of homo sapiens as the biggest catasrophe since the cretaceous extinction event. And I agreed with him. Now, my earlier post was talking about how much faith I have in humanity. I think instead of getting down on myself for being a hypocrit, I should accept that I believe humanity is better without society, and that it is greed that is the root of all the strange predicaments humans have gotten the environment into today. But--my faith in humanity says they did it out of ignorance, not realizing the impact they are going to have on the world, and when they are educated, they will try to reverse. If this isn't true, I am wasting my life.
