There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people who "love Nature" while deploring the "artificialities" with which "man has spoiled Nature." The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of Nature ~~ but beavers and their dams are. But the contradictions go beyond this prima~facie absurdity. In declaring his love for a beaver dam (erected by beavers for the purpose of beavers) and his hatred for dams erected by men (for the purpose of men) the "Naturist"reveals his hatred for his own race ~~ i.e. his own self-hatred.

In the case of "Naturists" such self~hatred is understandable, they are a sorry lot. But hatred is too strong an emotion to feel toward them; pity and contempt are the most they rate.

As for me, I am a woman, not a beaver and H. Sapiens is the only race I have or can have. Fortunately for me, I like being part of a race made up of men and women ~~ it strikes me as a fine arrangement and perfectly "natural."

Of course, this does not mean we can build whatever where ever ~~ this planet is our home and we must protect it to the best of our abilities ~~the same as any other creature would protect its home.

Sex should be friendly. Otherwise stick to mechanical toys; it's more sanitary.
