some don't think the midway is an important piece of land and are okay with a parking garage and bus terminal there and with an 18 storey tower on the park and presumably a pro golf course and tee where the sanctuary is an amphitheater and a widened highway and that echoes what i been feeling inside, that the majority of the people just don't care, and if they don't care about green space they probably don't care about pipelines or uranium dumps, or manifold wars or anything whatever except their personal devices and their nuclear family and their paycheck and i dearly hope that's just my deep pessimism about humans speaking. whether the better angels or the confiscators are heeded i hope is not a foregone conclusion, and i wish to temper my pessimism with my own better angel because either way it goes it will go better that way.

postscript. thankfully it is not the majority, r. says. i would be glad to be called a pessimist and the nature sanctuary remain a sanctuary. but the majority probably also would not condone endless war in their name. we will see what is coming by what is going on now, mostly secretly.
