As early as 1864 George Perkins Marsh, sometimes said to be the father of American ecology, warned that the earth was “fast becoming an unfit home for its ‘noblest inhabitant,” and that unless men changed their ways it would be reduced “to such a condition of impoverished productiveness, of shattered surface, of climatic excess, as to threaten the depravation, barbarism, and perhaps even extinction of the species”
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

This was said during the worst slaughter of the Civil War, so maybe that accounted for his less than cheery view of humanity.

From the article:
“”Environment May
Eclipse Vietnam as College Issue,” the
makers of the survey reported, and one
young man’s comment seemed to sum
up their findings: “A lot of people are
becoming disenchanted with the anti-
war movement,” he said. “People who
are frustrated and disillusioned are
starting to turn to ecology”
College students must protest something. It seems like a right of passage. That’s why Mckibben and the leftist activitist spend so much time on college campuses talking to the mush heads. A lot of them are over-privileged trust-fund babies who feel unfulfilled in life. Protests to college students is much like kids throwing tantrums testing their control. They are easy pickings for people like Mckibben who knows that they are gullible.
