The Pamphleteer

During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree. The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

What Would Iron Eyes Cody Say? Do? Whatever?

Tim Blair has an interesting take on the care of the environment by some of our ancestors.

This article also makes interesting reading.

We particularly love this quote:

"Mass extinctions on other continents also coincide with the arrival of modern humans, suggesting the two events are linked.

In North America, for example, the disappearance of the likes of mammoths and ground sloths is coincident with the arrival on the landmass of new stone-spear technologies carried by humans about 12,000 years ago."


But we thought all those folks lived in harmony with nature? This is really confusing!
