That is the perspective I take. Personally, I am really coming to hate cars, especially in the city. It is coming to the point where you risk your life to ride a bike, you cannot take a walk without the incessant buzz of passing cars, and kids can no longer play games in the streets.
And then my stomach is turned when I hear how forest rangers wear resporatories in Yellow Stone Park because of the snowmobiles. Some toys we can do without. The National Parks and Forests are for me sanctuaries preserved from the noise of machines to be enjoyed by man.
The problem with the environmentalists taking up such causes (except the last) is that for them it is a religion, and as in most religions they worship something other than man, in fact the whole movement is quite antihuman. Man is the parasite in paradise.
Boy, that was pretty bungled.
