I think that what we had there was simple greed! People who had no concern for the natural environment and just wanted to sell or develop their land. That may be the nature of primitive capitalism but it has nothing to do with 'progress'!
Best wishes, Paul

The Greek fires seem to bring the time of direct contentment of what our finite life needs to fulfill the wish of human progress. So the stories of deliberately set fires go to show that perhaps we can back to those 'times' for the Time to SUSTAIN needs for no more than the worked out allotment. Sure to sustain. We just need to afford in enough time.


Regards, Kris
