there is no progress in nature. there's evolution, but they have the suicide seeds for that. anyway we have to fight for the environment that has no money and the animals and people that have no rights. otherwise, futility. it may be a futile dream to save the park, or any nature anywhere, but the most futile thing is what they say to us who would try, "get over it". 

Opposition to OPC as long as it is in a public park, has nothing to do with actions that anyone should "get over." It has everything to do with respecting the environment, standing for basic democratic and law-abiding values, and refusing to become an authoritarian movement that turns people into automatons who obey their leaders and do what they are told,  even when the result is destructive to the community to which they belong, and ultimately to the fate of the entire human race. charlotte 

 

i was just talking about this at the model yacht pond dog park today. as long as progress is only considered in monetary terms i think our birds are cooked.

my friend at the yacht club said the club is probomba except for one fellow who is vehemently opposed. i'm going contact him. like pat says, it's theft of our park, and public land for all, not the moneyed elite, and regardless of the chances, we must fight for our green space.

the real futility is in that phrase, "get over it", resign yourself, the bulldozers are here.
