We here in Minnesota have the perfect example of urban sprawl and evidence of "civilization encroaching on the environment". We have the "Boundry Waters Canoe Area" a huge national park that is numerous lakes connected by rivers and streams and full of small secluded islands. It is the perfect place to get away from everyday life. I went there for a week and never saw another person. You can sit on the island under Norther Pines listening to the crackling of the campfire and the frogs and crickets. The most wonderful thing about the BWCA is that you cannot enter it with any motorized vehicles (boats, cars, motorcycles). NOW.....some people want this area accessible to motor boats! It has come to our state congress and the word is that it is going to pass. Why would anyone want to ruin such a splendid environment. It is the fat,lazy, 'I don't care about you only me', neanderthals that want to go there and fish! And it will pass b/c there are more fisherman (and wives/husbands) in the state than there are people who use the BWCA for enjoyment and an escape. It makes me want to isolate myself in a small cabin in the middle of nowhere with nothing but my computer and a coffee maker! The environment is dying! There is no doubt about it. And it will continue to die b/c the people who are ruining it are the ones that are repopulating it and do you think they are going to teach their childeren things like recycling and using renewable resources? Why would they, they don't do these things themselves!
Sorry for the long post Kind of hit a nerve with this topic
