Joe,
Do we really have these rights?
At what cost?
> We have the right to live without interference from others,
Not you, this is too absolute. Grab a gun and defend material. The majority of humans
who say these things tend to war against other humans, species, wolf, bear, tiger,
dense forest, anything that interferes to maintain this right.
> and the responsibility not to interfere in other peoples' lives.
Positive, but limiting, from this ecofem's pov, as generalizations go.
Is it too far a stretch to include top soil in the responsibility equation? No need to
fight or defend, I have an ingrained perception of our species (in it's western
attire) as being far less credible and far more destructive a life form on this planet
than the cockroach.
