By Earth First! founder, Novelists... Dave Foreman. Future, by one of America’s Great WRIT ERS of the The Lobo Outback Figieral Home WEST By Dave Foreman "..Ranting and raving against Wilderness is part of the catechism down here. Ever sinceI first came here with my parents, some locals have been talking about how ‘opening up’ the Wilderness would make the area boom." "That’s bullshit,” said Bill. "Of course it’s bullshit, but politics is bullshit. Don’t worry too much, though. . The big mining and timber boys are fying to piggyback anti-conservation stuff onto the antifederal government feeling..." Bill set his jaw and folded his arms across his chest. "Don’t worry. We'll protect the Wilderness--one way or another." "I hope so, but I’m not counting on anything anymore, old buddy. Whatever we protect is only temporary. Until famine and disease pare us back, we're going to tear up a lot of ground. You might save a little bit here, a little bit there, but...none of our sweat’s going to do much good. The only thing that'll happen is for the industrial bubble to pop. It’s going to happen, but I’m afraid it won’t happen soon enough. Get me drunk some night and I'll really tell you about my little trip around the world. It’s bad, Bill.” "Thanks for the pep talk." 83 NORTH MAIN STREET P.O.
