It is often said in the bible that god spake unto moses, but how do you know that god spake unto moses? because, you will say, the bible says so. the koran says, that god spake unto mahomet, do you believe that too? no. why not? because, you will say, you do not believe it; and so because you do, and because you don't is all the reason you can give for believing or disbelieving except that you will say that mahomet was an impostor. and how do you know moses was not an impostor?

This was mahatma gandhi’s idea, moving from ownership to relationship—seeing that land does not belong to us. we belong to the land. we are not the owners of the land. we are the friends of the land, like friends of the earth. the fundamental shift is in this consciousness that land does not belong to us, we belong to the land.

Land taxes is the thing. they got so high that there is no chance to make anything. not only land but all property tax. you see in the old days, why the only thing they knew how to tax was land, or a house. well, that condition went along for quite awhile, so even today the whole country tries to run its revenue on taxes on land. they never ask if the land makes anything. "it's land ain't it? well tax it then."
Running Country Real
Wilderness is a resource which can shrink but not grow. invasions can be arrested or modified in a manner to keep an area usable either for recreation, science or for wildlife, but the creation of new wilderness in the full sense of the word is impossible. it follows, then, that any wilderness program is a rearguard action, through which retreats are reduced to a minimum.
Invasion Retreat Wildlife
Every region should retain representative samples of its original or wilderness condition, to serve science as a sample of normality. just as doctors must study healthy people to understand disease, so must the land sciences study the wilderness to understand disorders of the land-mechanism.
