Re: [RC] Why "Naturalists" are Doomed - Angie FuraHi Kat - please read my entire post. The critical part is where I talk about balance. If you focus on the one paragraph that you isolated below, you'll miss the my point.

It is statements like this that demonstrate why so many self-proclaimed naturalists or environmentalists are doomed to frustration and failure. Being human themselves, there is nothing they (or any other human for that matter) can do that is "natural." In this case, the only "natural" solution would be the extinction of humans. However, I have yet to hear a single environmentalists suggest this as an alternative, despite the fact that it is the logical conclusion to be drawn from the above (and oft) stated opinion. I find this hilariously funny. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
