Then nothing has to change."

Great lessons here, Sue. x

I’ve wondered for years why people lose their propriety and self-discipline when they are in a rural or wilderness setting? Why is the act of getting roaring drunk an appropriate response to places of beauty? Why do geological features such as remote hot springs bring out the worst in people, who leave behind their underwear, used condoms, and syringes, as well as ordinary, everyday trash? And occasionally, when they drunkenly cook themselves to death in a hot spring or kill themselves on an atv, or drown themselves in a whitewater river, the rest of us must clean up the mess and also, have our liberties curtailed on public lands.

Call them out and loudly, Sue, because sometimes I despair when I think of my fellow human animals. They are why we can’t have nice things.
