    “We”? I certainly never approved any logging operations, nor did I agree to deforestation of fauna habitats. This is entirely on the people who began these rubber stamped the projects in government, run the companies doing the logging, and the workers ripping the trees out.

    The onus is entirely on them and their ilk, not the general population who disdain this activity in some grotesque ritual to the gods of moneynand greed. Fuck em.

          They didn’t. The author of the article didn’t. It’s weird that you’re taking this so personally.

            “Well, if you didn’t…”

            According to the English language, one would take the “We have betrayed its gentle curiousity” as including everyone.

            Also, when the commenter uses “Well if you didn’t”, as directed at who they were replying to, which was me.

            It’s weird that you’ve just randomly jumped in guns blazing without reading the article or the comment above.
