I want to get inspired NOT to write. Lord. I have an overactive imagination at present. I have other things to do, like earn a living (the day job thing) so living in my little fantasy fiction world means dysfunction in the "real" one. I almost got into a car accident last week thinking about my characters and the plot, and worry that they seem almost real to me. I guess all fiction writers have to be nuts to some degree but when it threatens heath and safety...!! I do wish I could turn off my brain sometimes.

It's a good question. I'm an ecologist not an anthropologist, but if disregard for the natural world can be attributed to humans' short life span, no human society would revere nature. I believe there are cultures in which people depend on natural resources around them for survival and therefore respect nature. On the other hand, didn't midwest farmers, who certainly lived close to the land, create the dust bowl?
