i feel distinctly ambivalent about the movie hundreds of beavers. in it the goofy trapper has to kill hundreds of beavers to win the fur trader's daughter's hand in marriage. mike laments there was nothing about the evil decimation on the beaver population and the resulting decimation of habitat. i did think there was something about the evil of the trappers, but it was such an endless phantasmagoria, and i may have inserted that.

the decimation of the beavers is like the decimation of the bison. killing beaver to get girl is pretty sick alright. it probably doesn't bode well for long term relationship.

it's funny, i talk about the decimation of the trees and the park and nature sanctuary by the obamachron across the street, and the beavers meanwhile are eating the trees.

it's disturbing to see modified nature trying to be natural. while

across the street obama landscapes with styrofoam.

what do i know, i'm just a city boy, living in a building across from an oligarch draining the wetland and building on it, lording over a "nature sanctuary" with the beaver intrepidly attempting to do what beavers are meant to do alongside the artifice of human hubris.

maybe the beavers will go eat obama's trees. then they will surely be displaced, or repurposed as pelts.
