  John Muir

  John Muir was an angry, obsessed kook who disliked having people on the planet.  Here is his opinion in his own words:
  "Man is always and everywhere a blight on the landscape." -- John Muir

  The developing world needs energy, water, food and medicine -- not anything at all from a misanthropic, 19th century nut.

  It will take generations of work on hydroelectric plants, clean water wells, electrification, roads, schools, fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, vaccinations, modern engineered crops, just to start to help places like Africa.  But most of all it will require destroying the terrible corruption and rotten, self serving rulers there who steal most aid money for themselves.

  Someday, far in the future, if they survive they will be able to afford environtmentalism as it is practiced in the west.  I hope they get that far.
