Force of Nature clip - David Suzuki and the Haida Gwaii

In the early 1980s, the Haida, led by President Miles Richardson, stood against loggers and government officials to keep them from coming into Windy Bay, Canada - a pristine watershed of 6,000 acres. David Suzuki featured their fight on his TV show, The Nature of Things (a nature show). He speaks about his experience in his Legacy speech, and their relationship with the land - a relationship that we have lost in the developed world.

This deeply reflects upon the issues of "dualism" why in our beliefs do we see ourselves as "separate" there are root structures that need to be questioned and core "seen" I challenge everyone to self reflect upon the root sources of influences that are driving such viewpoints from our past and present world view that prevent us from "seeing" the intrinsic value of nature, over all other values.

The best way to experience the intrinsic value of nature is to spend time in the natural world . Most of the people in the world are biophobic … mainly because they have been raised in urban environments which disconnect humans from the natural world . So ; how do biophiles , like Allrock123 and myself , encourage biophobes to find their way into the wilderness to experience its beauty ? Once a biophobe has experienced the beauty and begun to appreciate the beauty , then and only then can the biophobe begin to understand what it is at stake for human existence and for the existence of all living things . Truth = Nature = Reality = Beauty . But how do biophiles like you and I encourage biophobes to make that step into the natural world to begin their re-connection to the natural world ?

Dr. David Suzuki is one to talk. He built a huge house that used a lot of lumber which meant that a lot of trees were cut to serve his personal pleasure. Its okay if trees get cut for him, but not for the rest of us. Dr. David Suzuki is good at throwing a lot of loggers and sawmillers out of business, but when big corporate giants in the timber and lumber business cut trees that is okay--just fewey for the small entrepreneur. Dr. David Suzuki is just in the pockets of big world-wide lumber companies and high taxation powerful governments all financed by Zionist bankers in Europe. Wake up Canada, this is what Dr. Suzuki really is, and don't forget that when he goes from one end of Canada to the other to make speeches at universities he uses airplanes which use fossil fuels, and which Dr. Suzuki finds so sinful because it hurts the environment. Dr. David Suzuki can use fossils fuels and cut lumber, but not the rest of us Canadians. Its to hell with the Canadians as far as he is concerned, Somebody should dig up on how big a house Dr. Suzuki really built and how many air miles and road miles he uses in a year. Yes Dr. Suzuki, you can run, but you cant hide.

Sorry to realize to have to say that you still do not understand & perhaps with your attitude you may never fully understand. Sadder part there are far to many just like you who try to put us who understand into the position of the victim of your oppression.
