what toad shit.listen washitsu, you and all your brethren are responsible for the rape and desecration of countless natives and their lands. now you rape and pillage more natives across the water for your ignorance and greed, you now slaughter babies for oil.
Wrong!
If you ever visit upstate New York, where a number of my ancestors (and many others) settled in the Catskills (18th and 19th century), you will see land that is almost the same as it was a thousand years ago - I visited the farm of my 4th great grandfather, in Greene County, New York, where he settled in 1806, and the land was still fertile, and producing apples and other fruits. They brought seedlings from way upstate in Albany County, and worked to make it BETTER than it was, and it still is beautiful, and fertile 200 years later. Sure, you will find some industrial pollution in the region, like everywhere else, but the Catskills are still stunning and rival anyplace for scenic and pristine land. I may very well move there some day, or someplace similar, after retirement from my NYC job.

You are pointing the finger of blame at everyone different from yourself, and you are very wrong. Your ignorance is not becoming to a man of your age. If you want to lump everybody together, then you are nothing more than a bigot ?? and reasonable folks will not listen to your ravings.
