Spraying to kill trees and and raspberry bushes after a clear-cut merely looks unaesthetic for a short time, but tree plantations are deliberate ecodeath. Yet, tree planting is often pictorially advertised on television and in national magazines by focusing on cupped caring hands around a seedling. But forests do not need this godlike interference... Planting tree plantations is permanent deforestation... The extensive planting of just one exotic species removes thousands of native species.

Movement is the essence of life.

Deep down we are all still runners

For those that endure until spring, existence is reduced to its elegant essentials.

There is nothing quite so gentle, deep, and irrational as running--and nothing quite so savage, so wild.

There is no evidence that suggests women are naturally better at caring for children... with the fact of child-bearing out of the centre of attention, there is even more reason for treating girls first as human beings, then as women.

Margaret Mead Cultural Anthropologist

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
