    I watched a documentary recently. I don’t remember the name of it but it was a British couple with a large farm. The soil was in terrible shape. They let it go back to nature and got some pushback for ruining the land. I didn’t finish watching but It seems like they idea in Britain for the majority is that nature sucks.

      Country folk used to have a clue about nature because they relied on it to survive. Now they’re just dumb rednecks with carbrain. Lately there’s a ton of country bumpkins in Sweden who wants to kill all the wolves because they occasionally harm or kill their loose pets (if your dog lives in your home, it’s a pet). They claim the wolves “aren’t good for anything in nature”. So we will likely have a massive increase of tick and mosquito borne illness soon due to deer overpopulation.

      I get a lot of comments about needing to cut my lawn. I don’t have a lawn, I have a meadow.
