Environmentalism as Religion

Dejo acá la liga al estupendo artículo de Michael Crichton sobre el medioambientalismo progre, cándido y privilegiado de la actualidad. Una probadita:

"The truth is, almost nobody wants to experience real nature. What people want is to spend a week or two in a cabin in the woods, with screens on the windows. They want a simplified life for a while, without all their stuff. Or a nice river rafting trip for a few days, with somebody else doing the cooking. Nobody wants to go back to nature in any real way, and nobody does. It's all talk-and as the years go on, and the world population grows increasingly urban, it's uninformed talk. Farmers know what they're talking about. City people don't. It's all fantasy".

Cabe decir que me costó trabajo encontrar el texto que originalmente estaba en su sitio oficial (www.michalecrichton.com), pero ni este ni otro polémico ensayo suyo, "Alliens cause Global Warming", están más en su página. Se nota que, tras su muerte, sus herederos han querido edulcorar su polémica imagen en torno a temas espinosos que a las buenas conciencias primermundistas les siguen pareciendo intocables.
Saludos.

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same
