A Vision

We are floundering around, thrashing about as effectually as headless chickens. Each “project,” each “mitigation” attempt, each stay at “restoration.”

All without a central coherent vision to guide us. We need to sit back awhile and before we continue tinkering and “fixing” nature, let’s get our ducks in a row.

Take a deep breath. Think about Principles.

First, we need to give Ma Nature a little credit--she can and does fix herself better than you assume. 

We need to examine our Assumptions

We need to review what we Know vs. Think

We need some common Goals

We need to set some agreed-on Limitations, Guidelines (for want of a word)

We need to come up with some fail-safe rules to govern our tinkering

We are making a cosmic laughing-stock of ourselves

So let’s come down to earth, try to grow up a little, and start where we need to, by working first on ourselves
