America Gone Wild: The Reforestation of America

[MadImmortalMan]

Those are all hick counties.  None of the civilized counties have representatives, it seems.

I would have clicked through if Pike County had a link. If you're gonna do it, go all the way.

I've never been to Pike County so I can't say for sure, but I think there are counties to the west of Pike that are worse.  Much worse.  For example, Clay County:

The median income for a household in the county was $16,271, and the median income for a family was $18,925. Males had a median income of $24,164 versus $17,816 for females. The per capita income for the county was $9,716. About 35.40% of families and 39.70% of the population were below the poverty line, including 47.60% of those under age 18 and 31.30% of those age 65 or over. The county's per-capita income and median household income make it one of the poorest counties in the United States. Among counties whose population contains a non-Hispanic white majority, it is the poorest by per-capita income and second to another county in the same Kentucky region, Owsley County, by median household income.

Beautiful country there. Boring, but beautiful.

Closest I've been to there is London (Laurel County).  The downtown is nothing but courthouses, courthouse annexes, and law offices.

How do both males and females make more than households?

Many of the Kentucky towns have lost most of their character. Add bail bonds in Harlan.

Parasite children and grandma bringing the averages down.

A fair few deer around this parts.

But coming back through the fringes of the forest on Thursday evening a white hart crossed in front of me.   

That's the third one I've seen in 25+ years in these parts, I think they're supposed to bring good luck, or was it they're an omen ?

So do I get it right that the arguments is:
-our evolution was so quick that we went from fearing animals of the wild to massacring them
-evolution is too slow to react to evolution

Careful;  you start pedaling after it, your ass is going to wind up back at Professor Kirke's house.

Humans are an extraordinary species in Earth's evolution. Our evolution all of a sudden became "critical" when a bit more brainpower made us the dominant species on Earth, by far the most "fit for survival". The following explosive growth of our capabilities and adaptability can't be matched by any other species because our growing capabilities aren't a biological process anymore, but rather a technological and cultural process. So even if we are part of the biosystem, we are a total exception and thus upset the balance that is the basis for normal biological evolutionary processes as we were the game changers that brought new non-biological concepts into consideration.

Well, we're still no cyanobacteria.

Anyway, speaking as a lover of animals and a vegetarian--true stewardship, in its most meaningful sense, would involve expunging all life from Earth.  Nature is ninety-nine percent suffering.  Once it is no longer necessary for the survival of joy-capable life such as humans, or more realistically, humanity's descendants, we can nuke the planet from orbit, leave it to underground bacteria, and get on with trying to balance out 600 million years of negative utility.

I mean, have you ever seen a nature documentary?  Africa loves the darned things.  They're horrid.

I don't know it looked quite startled, we're not talking red deer here, though it did make a loud noise when it plunged into the nearby swollen stream.

There's a story here that Henry VII caught a white hart in the forest and led it back on a chain to town and named the local pub, the White Hart, supposedly it being the first so named, it the only one in England called The Original White Hart'. 

I suspect there's not documentary proof for any of this.
