because, more often than not, when we **** with nature, it ultimately ****s

I guess I don't understand your meaning. Since when is man not a part
of nature and who said anything about ****ing with nature (at least
any more than we have to date)? If we are to exist as a species, in
any capacity, we will, invariably, completely and incessantly '****'
with nature. I guess the best we can hope to do is to do those things
that create a positive influence on our ability to manage the other
things properly. When you're in a mess of sewage and drought, well,
let's just say 'trout die' as a metaphor. In our panic to control
local and regional issues we do **** nature while simultaneously not
solving anything. Salmon get confused by the concrete and die without
spawning, again as a metaphor. So, it's flooding down in Texas (RIP
Stevie Ray) or in Louisiana and the water runs in to massive
underground tanks in the grid to reappear in North Carolina where the
cricks holding the beloved national treasure brookies would otherwise
dry up. Espousing an attitude of 'living in a cave' just won't git 'er
done.
