Max, you capture the importance not only of informing our populace but WHY the love for the land is so important -where will all be in 6 years. :"they are not only defending a mine; they are defending the process of assimilation. They are defending the conquest of an Earth-centered worldview by a profit-centered one." Why does it always have to be humans vs other living creatures? And why don't we see that? Your writing is superb, btw.

Another, applicable, Martin Luther King Jr. quote to add to yours:

Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?" Expediency asks the question, "Is it politic?" And Vanity comes along and asks the question, "Is it popular?" But Conscience asks the question, "Is it right?" And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right. - Martin Luther King. Jr.
