Another Dirty Hippy Opens Their Mouth...
Any guesses on who made this outragous claim and when did they say it?
Some Dirty Hippy said:Defenders of the short-sighted men who in their greed and selfishness will, if permitted, rob our country of half its charm by their reckless extermination of all useful and beautiful wild things sometimes seek to champion them by saying the 'the game belongs to the people.' So it does; and not merely to the people now alive, but to the unborn people. The 'greatest good for the greatest number' applies to the number within the womb of time, compared to which those now alive form but an insignificant fraction. Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wild life and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method.

I have no clue
No clue as to who the poster is, nor the meaning of the dogmatic spew. I think they're trying to say we need to preserve natural resouces for our children....and democrats.
Do I win some kinda prize for being wrong, Ken?

Right man, but it's from A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open, 1916.
Well, it's arguably applicable to those who have a passion for trail maintenance...marsb said:Why are you posting that in here?

How is it outrageous Ken? Makes perfect sense to me. I can't see the need to label someone a 'hippy' just beacause they are pro-conservation. You may not give a $hit about the welfare of the future generations but some of us do.

Or there's that....

i don't know, but it sounded pretty good to me
Doesn't seem outrageous except that it's attacking the problem ass backwards to my way of thinking; we need less people to make the resources more available in that democratic sense. If only Teddy had seen how crowded it would get seeing as how the population in the US has roughly tripled since 1916.
sounds to me more like someone just trying to appear a lot smarter than they are by using fancy wording and lots of run-on sentences that they wouldn't normally use in conversation. They need to keep in mind that this is a rather INFORMAL board...

You're absolutely right....
***Panacea Disclaimer**** Hey Panacea, I was kidding again. I don't really think Roosevelt's PR machine was that great.
Teddy Roosevelt was actually a window licker on the short bus. He just had a great PR machine that made him look all smart and stuff.Cabin Fever said:sounds to me more like someone just trying to appear a lot smarter than they are by using fancy wording and lots of run-on sentences that they wouldn't normally use in conversation.
