and they say this is the best place to live?

Right now, I hate Habitat for Humanity. Their construction workers are cutting down trees in the small ravine behind my house. A pair of pileated woodpeckers lives back there, among the myriad other birds and wildlife. They're cutting away the trees that line the bank of a small creek. This will contribute to erosion, while the new home materials and new lawns will contribute to the death of the creek.

Boy says it's better they destroy nature in town than outside of city limits, but I think it sucks, period.

Ethics and Morality suck.

Because no matter what side you choose, you're always mean and a hypocrite. I speak very bluntly because I've resigned to the fact I will always offend someone, and will always be wrong in some way.

After all, you probably live in a house made of stone cut from the earth, or wood from tree once home to something.

Its easy to dislike the bad things that belong to other people. And so hard to hate the bad things that are our.

When we slaughter life for food, it is oddly easier than slaughtering the woods for our home.

We need more tree farms if people are still cutting old growth lumber. That being said, it is hard to complain after 30 years of increased forest growth in the US.

Regardless of philosophy or ethics though...its always sad to see nature fall at our hands.
