Hahaha wow Joshua, that really takes the cake! I wonder how much you can charge for dirty hippy removal versus cat rescues.

I thought the climber did a good job in very very difficult conditions...not passing judgement on the protest or their tactics (I have no idea of the specific issues the history etc...)just saying I was impressed by his focus and calm assertive approach.

If you care to follow the discussion about that extracation there is a long thread in the archive.

Protest manifests itself in many forms.

Read Ed Abbie's writings... Start with Desert Solitaire for non-fiction or The Monkey Wrench Gang for fiction. You'll get an idea about environmental passion...in a protective sense instead of an exploitive sense.

X2 on Desert Solitaire. I was lost in that book for two days.
Couldn't put it down.
Thanks for the reminder!

I wish that environmental issues which are important to most of us here were not so often co-opted by a bunch of doped out hippies and flakes who have lost whatever context they have with the real world.

Little sidetrack.

Desert Solitaire inspired me to take a trip to Arizona. I wanted to sleep under the stars and just be there among the saquaros and stare up at the night sky.
So I did it.
Not safe any more. Too many drug smugglers on the border. Last time we did that near the Mexican border we camped well away from our vehicle. Just in case.

I agree, these are important issues but dreadlocks and hemp shorts are not so credible in todays society. Well put together activists make much more headway with the top brass.
