Random Quote
Now, primitive man is neither a metaphysician nor an idealist. He does not concern himself with the origin and destiny of the universe, nor even with its nature, except so far as his necessities compel him to form some conclusions as to the nature of the forces around him. His gods are in no sense a creation of an "idealising faculty," they are the most concrete matter-of-fact expressions. It is not even a question of morality. He does not say, "Let us make gods in the interest of morality and the higher life"; it is the sheer pressure of facts upon an uninformed mind that leads him to believe in those extra-natural beings, whose anger he is bound to placate.

Ugh. He lost me in the "Rape of the Earth" post where he stomped his feet and whined over how not enough women are credited in one book.
Get over it, douchebag. Talk about something that matters. If there were a clear attempt made to marginalize women, then fine. Complain away, in the name of all that's good. But if you just like to have sunshine come out of your ass and feel like everything is and always has been perfectly equal between the sexes, then I don't want to read you. That is boring and pointless.
But markhor are awesome.

Pretty harsh, Libbie. Sure, Chris Clarke takes his feminist cred pretty seriously, but "douchebag"?
Give him a chance--he's one of the best writers and interesting thinkers on the 'nets.

...plus you clearly didn't read the whole post. Only the above-the-fold intro is aboiut that one book.

Right, but if it's not "clear" then just STFU douchebag?Um, no.

I haven't read a lot of Chris Clarke yet ,but this little paragraph is accurate and important.
"Second, environmental journalism as it has been practiced suffers a serious flaw: the “he-said, she-said” false-objectivity model ensures that the base motives of those who would despoil the Earth for profit are granted validity equal to the warnings of the scientists who study our eroding biosphere, or the people who care enough to work to stop the damage. While The Clade’s founding members hold journalistic and scientific accuracy, and fairness, as core values, we also think that journalism is useless if it doesn’t have a sense of right and wrong."
