“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Americans, Send Something Like This Today

Dear U.S. Forest Service,

PS: an acquaintance of mine is part of a corporation that does drilling (I live in Houston). His company has a drill bit stuck in a national park. Their idea for getting it out is dynamiting a 100' radius hemisphere out of the park. Imagine what that looks like and what that does.

Yours sincerely,

Timothy Morton

The use of the word empire is exactly right. All part of Agrilogistics, from the era of the fertile crescent to 21-century fracking.
