Follow this link to read a thoughtful essay in the Los Angeles Times by writer Paul Theroux, on Henry David Thoreau, hunting and modern politics.

Theroux's take is inspiring ecological bomb throwing in the manner of Edward Abbey.

He closes his piece with a brilliant Thoreau quote on the sanctity of all life, "A pine cut down, a dead pine, is no more a pine than a dead human carcass is a man. Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve life than destroy it."
