I'm posting this here, rather than /v/whatever or /v/showerthoughts because it's probably only interesting to conspiritards who are willing to accept the elements as "nearly certain".

If you consider the trend of ecological doctrines, conspirators have moved away from the "parks and gardens" model begun by Grant and advocated by Roosevelt to a "preserve" model advocated by, say, Agenda 21. The idea is that when nature is tended, it's not really nature, but some kind of garden. Real nature, the kind we need (although I can't see what good it does us), results from a strict hands-off approach: no hunting, no firebreaks, no dams, etc.

Ok, fine. I can see it. Mother Nature vs. Trash Pandas.

However, "ecology" and "economy" seem to be viewed through opposite lenses. Human economy must be controlled, planned, manicured, and shaped -- right down to who gets to breed and when. Are we not apes? Do man-apes not long to be red in tooth and claw, too?
