5. I've been called
every bad name at some time or another. I doubt that more than 90% of the time accurately.

A good debate is always fun. Years ago, in our governor's office, Chief Waterman had me, alone, debate the panel of "experts" hired by an industry -- an attorney, archaeologist, and two others. My belief is that if you are telling the truth, you can handle any such a debate. Within a month of that one, I had a job offer from the Governor's attorney, so I think I did well enough. However, my loyalties were with the Council, not the state government.

The position that human beings can exploit nature without consequence is a great lie. It is sometimes even a delusion. Natural Law is, in the end, more powerful than man-made laws/industrial policies. Good lawyers can't help. No plea bargaining, no probation. Just there sometimes beautiful, and sometimes harsh, cruel realities of nature.
