I'm still only a little way into your 'PILLAGE, PLUNDER & POLLUTE, LLC' (I'm typochecking it as I go, too).<br /><br />DD, I fear that 'horizontal hostility' is inevitable. There are so many facets to the problems we face that trying to make any kind of unified sense of them all is impossible. Everyone who gives a toss is struggling to come to grips with all these various elements, each learning as we go along, fragment here, snippet there. There's no universities offering a unified course that would enable it all to be grokked in one chunk. And we're all constantly hindered by that ole status quo that's even now still in denial of any problem at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-21780570121668617462012-05-30T19:58:29.730-04:002012-05-30T19:58:29.730-04:00I’m beyond worried.

Your blog is thought provoking as always.<br /><br />I’ve heard that Lierre Keith’s book Vegetarian Myth shows how ineffective veganism is as a political tactic, and how bad agriculture is for the planet as well (better to eat wild meat than any food grown by agriculture). Growing vegetables in giant monocrop agricultural fields displaces wild animals. So indirectly, growing vegetables is killing animals (as is all of industrial civilization, I’m not blaming vegetarians, not at all). I think consumption is a bigger problem that population. A lot of the “solutions” take industrial civilization as a given, but I don’t think we can save the planet and ourselves and still keep all of our privileges. I think it is privilege that has to go. Of course, the root of the problem, industrial civilization and not our personal lifestyle, is what has to go. No matter what choices I make, industry is going to keep on killing the planet. <br /><br />I don’t understand why various environmental and social activists can’t unite and stop the horizontal hostility towards each other. All of us may not agree on the specifics, but that shouldn’t matter, we are facing the same enemy. <br /><br />Thanks for all the links, looks like I have more reading to do.Desert Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669842743759510104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-33791767924429618302012-05-30T14:35:58.083-04:002012-05-30T14:35:58.083-04:00Superb post.Superb post.rpaulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016149709193595632noreply@blogger.com
