Wow. Grotesque. Although I laughed when I read about Mother Earth's ombudsman who would hear complaints on her behalf.

Some of the statements about balance and not being too extreme could be right out of Atlas Shrugged if they were focused on business and profits.

Ombudsman == priest??? :whistle:

"...an ombudsman whose job is to hear nature's complaints as voiced by activist and other groups, including the state."

Considering recent developments for religion in my country, I'd agree with you...exactly like a priest, and the curious phenomena of how "nature's complaints" are "voiced" only by some particular groups, as though they seem to have a monopoly on this revelation :ninja:

Ironically, he's probably right since "indigenous thinking", generally applied, would lead to the near extinction of humans on the planet.
