The Anthropovore

The San Joaquin Valley is an area of California where I have done work. It is one of the breadbaskets of the world and quite beautiful but suffers from a number of economic problems, including high unemployment and low incomes. The people who occupy this region are hard-working and community spirited in every way. It's sad to see how out-of-control enviro-marxists are now destroying them and their region, putting smelt (a non-indigenous species no less) before people. See this link. But, then again, isn't that exactly what today's absurdly high stream anti-degradation standards do? And, what about those mindless Indiana Bat and Bog Turtle study requirements on land only suspected of being potential habitat for these species? Unfortunately, we have created a new species – the anthropovore, a green monster with an insatiable appetite for power and natural antipathy to man. We have fed it with the power to sue on behalf of us and it now wants to consume us. One might say it's a process of natural selection, but that would be wrong. It's really a pathological and unnatural self-hatred that we must squelch before the anthropovore consigns us all to oblivion.
