A man who obviously knows nothing of pearls or wisdom should stick to

humans you two shold have it all to yourselves.
Thank you for your non-pearl of non-wisdom.
All Jim McNamra knows how to do is to stalk. He does not have a clue about
your expertise on how mountain biking harms hiking trails and how it harms
nature in general....
Kind of silly to worry about off-road bicycling harming nature, when the
only thing that will save most ecosystems on the planet is mass hominid
sterilization. Most larger mammals (including possibly hominids), birds
and fish will be extinct in 100 years or so, the forests will be gone,
the topsoil depleted and the lakes, rivers and oceans fouled. All
because people put their personal desire to breed excessively ahead of
the general welfare of the species and planet.


You need to distinguish between NUMBERS of humans, and their BEHAVIOR.
ONE human with atomic weapons can do more harm than the rest of the
population combined. That can't be THAT hard to understand. BOTH are
important, not just population.


Hungry people want to eat, and damn the ecological consequences. Cold
people want shelter and a fire, damn forest sustainability. Only two
billion people can live a decent, sustainable lifestyle with the
technology foreseeable in the next century. Seven or eight billion
people can ruin the planet with stone age technology.


That's no excuse to ignore in=mprovements in behavior. That's like
only counting automobiles, and ignoring MPG.

We are screwed. The overpopulation problem should have been addressed 40
years ago, but still has not due to religious superstitions and
individual selfishness.

Maybe the next dominant species that evolves in a few million years will
be morally better than us hominids.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of!

Thanks for demonstrating your UTTER ignorance. There are NO
thermonuclear bombs going off in our parks or other natural areas, and
mountain biking is the most destructive activity ever allowed there.

Thanks for demonstrating your inability to understand an analogy.

What does some damage from off-road bicycling matter if these wilderness
areas are eventually stripped by the starving hoards of trees for
firewood, the land converted to subsistence farming, and all extractable
minerals mined? Those actions WILL happen due to overpopulation, unless
some event occurs to drastically reduce worldwide population. Voluntary
population reduction will never happen, since individuals put their
selfish wants above the needs of society.

Um, I hate to break it to you, but animals and plants killed by
mountain bikers won't be comforted much knowing that the forest will
be destroyed LATER. Since you like analogies, by your thinking, the
police should ignore all crimes but murder, because they are
insignificant IN COMPARISON TO MURDER. You are just rationalizing, not
thinking. You obviously aren't capable of rational thought. I feel
sorry for Ed, having to put up with numbskulls like you.
