Telling Quotes of the Swampies

Here's a link I saw at Greenie Watch as well. Some very startling remarks.

"The right to have children should be a marketable commodity, bought and traded by individuals but absolutely limited by the state. -Kenneth Boulding, originator of the "Spaceship Earth" concept (as quoted by William Tucker in Progress and Privilege, 1982)

I'm betting he'd already procreated, unfortunately.

We have wished, we ecofreaks, for a disaster or for a social change to come and bomb us into Stone Age, where we might live like Indians in our valley, with our localism, our appropriate technology, our gardens, our homemade religion-guilt-free at last! -Stewart Brand (writing in the Whole Earth Catalogue).

Yes, you have your idealistic little Indian village, and I'll be the Mohawk raider killing and enslaving your idealic little world. Talk about a lack or historical understanding.

The only real good technology is no technology at all. Technology is taxation without representation, imposed by our elitist species (man) upon the rest of the natural world. -John Shuttleworth

Elitist species? Not sure where to take that bit.

I suspect that eradicating smallpox was wrong. It played an important part in balancing ecosystems. -John Davis, editor of Earth First! Journal

Really? I think we can find something to expose you to that will help balance the ecosystem. Though I'm sure you think that your statement shouldn't apply to you.

Go read some of these jewels just for laughs. Makes you want to Stomp out Swampy in a big way.
