I concur. This is the sort of statement that I was looking for in joining the list 2.5 years ago and recently joining ExI. I want to be an activist, not a diversity sensitivity trainer.
On the rainforests bit, Eli, how about:
We will completely REBUILD the rainforests ANYWAY and bring back every species made extinct by man, just to SPITE the environmentalists who said it couldn't be done with TECHNOLOGY, and for trying to outlaw every form of technology more advanced than AGRICULTURE, which is the real ecology killer. The rainforests will become HUNTING preserves for humans to practice the ceremony of the HUNT to retain contact with their roots....
