"There is another way of looking at this whole issue (drilling in the arctic wilderness): as people and machines move into a wilderness area, such as the Arctic Refuge, the homelands of the animals living there are destroyed, many are killed, and hundreds of thousands are terrorized. Is not this, from the animals' point of view, the equivalent of a terrorist attack? I find this profoundly disturbing. It applies to so much human activity such as logging, mining, development, road construction, the building of dams - the list is endless.
"It was Mahatma Gandhi who wondered why, when someone harms a man-made object such as a building or a work of art, it is described as 'vandalism', but when someone harms an object created by God, it is simply shrugged off as 'progress'."
~Jane Goodall
That quote is from another excellent book I'm reading called The Ten Trusts by Jane Goodall and Marc Bekoff. I highly recommend it to everyone! It's actually a quite recent book (2002) for me so most of you could probably find a copy of it with no difficulty. I wonder the same thing as Gandhi...
The older I get, the more I love non-fiction! I just love to learn. And the more I learn, the more everything just fits together.
: )
peace.
