I just read a quote on the net essentially suggesting that Earth is a garden, not a god, and is for man to cultivate, not preserve. Idyllic, but what gardening style are we talking about? Have you seen the chemical farms of Central California, where the soil is treated like so much sawdust? Once the best growing soil in the world, now conveniently flat and absorbent. Burned every season so the yucky decaying stuff won't get mixed in with next seasons fertilizer. B<
