If I had been as capable of trust as I am susceptible to fear I might have learned something new or some truth so very old we have all forgotten it. - Edward Abbey

No more cars in national parks. Let the people walk. Or ride horses, bicycles, mules, wild pigs — anything — but keep the automobiles and the motorcycles and all their motorized relatives out. We have agreed not to drive our automobiles into cathedrals, concert halls, art museums, legislative assemblies, private bedrooms and the other sanctums of our culture; we should treat our national parks with the same deference, for they, too, are holy places. An increasingly pagan and hedonistic people (thank God!), we are learning finally that the forests and mountains and desert canyons are holier than our churches. Therefore let us behave accordingly.

Beyond atheism, nontheism. I am not an atheist but an earthiest. Be true to the earth.

My job is to save the fucking wilderness. I don’t know anything else worth saving.
