So, hippie boy can go pluck all the low-hanging fruit he wants. Enjoy! We’ll look in on him around mid-January, to see if he’s still prancing.

This is the sort of guy who will eat his own seed corn. They are morons who don't understand that conservation is a luxury of highly civilized technological civilizations. Substance societies always outgrow the local food supply and destroy nature. Only a technological society with massive excess food and production capacity can afford to set aside large amounts of prime land for conservation.

If you love nature, you had better support industrial farming. Because it is high tech, energy intensive, industrial farming that allows 5% of the population to feed the rest while letting millions of acres of land go fallow. Low tech substance agriculture requires that you plow every patch of workable land. And there is no room for wolves, buffalo, or Bambi in that world. You can only save the whales if there is a cattle farm available to make up the loss of food. Point that out to a hippie and watch their head explode.

Hippie boy would be for 100% organic farming. That would quite likely reduce our agricultural production by 65%. i.e, entire nations starve.

Margaret Sanger. would be proud.

The liberals solution is to exterminate the population so that low tech farming would be on a smaller scale. The party of death always has a solution.
