I am all for the idea of preserving nature above and beyond the corporate interests of the world. My only issue, being the fundie that I am, is that we don't start worshiping it.
It is from nature that we are able to create all of the amazing tools that have made us the most brilliant tool makers in Earth's history and allowed us to thrive throughout the world.
are we not the only "tool makers" in history, or are we counting beavers and ants?
