The question is not, "how much does 'nature' - & saving it or repairing damge to it - cost?" The question is, "Where can we go if idiots are allowed to continue destroying & damaging the environment under the lying banner of 'progress' & 'civilization'?" The answer is a chilling, "Nowhere." Mitakuye oiasin / All (are) my relatives. And yours and theirs. Come to think of it, there ain't no 'us' or 'them'; there's only 'us'. We're all in the same canoe & the thing leaks partly because of 'us n them' attitudes. I been sayin' this for over 30 years - you'd think us Indns have invisible voices or somethin'.. although I know it's really that people as a group are too attached to the "us n them" perspective to pay attention. Sure seems a pity to leave the planet to amoeba, but that's where it's goin'.. until enough people get past "us n them" & far down the road into "us" & do what should-a been done in the first place, lila ota ehanni (LEE-lah OH-tah eh_HAHNH-nee) / a long time ago.
