Trust me, right before 9/11, the government was wondering how to get EarthFirst! classified as a real terror group (especially to take eyes off of the far right groups). Timber folks were getting tired of repairing equipment and dealing with spiked trees. Be safe.
Hey orcas: These guys right here
What a read. We thought the world is getting smaller as people connect with each other through social media, and yet we are worlds apart on this one. These rich people just can't fathom a life without a yacht. To them, it's not luxury, it's a necessity, just like you and I need water. No matter how much education they might have had, it's not enough to get through their thick skulls to make meaningful change with their lifestyles.
That's why anyone with half a brain understands that being filthy rich itself cannot be tolerated. It doesn't matter how "good" of a person you are. Having that much wealth completely blinds perspective.
Wealth inequality is a disease for civility. Unfortunately, going without is much harder after you've had. I don't think people of obscene wealth can be reintegrated into society.
The biggest problem is if any of us grew up having access to things, or even got a cess tomorrow, we'd rationalize or ignore the issues.
Humans are very very good at "head in the sand"
At this point you're just begging to get dolphined man. Someone teach dolphins how to use explosives.
Its funny because seems like these could be made to be very self sufficient and you would think rich folk would want that.
The norm seems to be going for huge diesel engines and helicopter pads rather than sails.
