Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

Saturday, September 20, 2003

This morning my Botany class went on a canoe trip. An excellent time, except that Alisa and I could hardly be called expert canoers. We managed to spin around often at the beginning, but once we let go of that feeling of complete incompetence, it was actually enjoyable to be spinning around in the Elkhart river. Luckily not actually in the water though, because, dude, there is a lot of E. coli and mercury in there.

I asked my professor, Lisa-Renee, who is from Arkansas, whether she considers D.C. to be northern or southern. She answered that everything north of Virginia is north, because Virginia was a defender and the states above it fought with the Union in the "War of Northern Aggression." I don't know if she was kidding about the "War of Northern Aggression" part, but I half chuckled when she said it. Then I thought, she does have a point. Northern economic interests were certainly a factor in the war, and the Union Army's campaign to burn down and destroy the entire south, its factories, major cities, and farms, was unnecessarily cruel, while it served its purpose in aggressively destroying the south's economy and fledgling industry.

I don't know that she and I will talk politics much this semester, though. Probably better that we stick to plants.
