I agree with your general viewpoint. I don't agree that the "look but don't
touch" attitude is dangerously prevelant by any means-- just in the minds of
people who want access for profit, or think they should be able to go where
ever and whenever they want. Or people who have made environmental
protection a political or intellectual pursuit without wanting to understand
the facts and processes behind protecting sensitive habitats.
-- Jay DeLong Olympia, WA "If the biota, in the course of aeons, has built something we like but do not understand, then who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering." ~ Aldo Leopold (1953)
