Criticisms of Mark Twain: Past and Present Mark

On November 18, 1978, in a cleared-out patch of
the Guyanese jungle, Reverend Jim Jones ordered
the 911 members of his flock to kill themselves by
drinking a cyanide potion, and they did. It seems
cultists were brainwashed by this megalomaniac
Jones, who had named their jungle village after
himself and held them as virtual slaves, if not
living zombies. Jones himself was found dead. Hed
shot himself in the head, or someone else had shot
him. Is it plausible that more than nine hundred
people too...

Adopt A Land Ethic Adopt A Land Power

To answer the question, was Aldo Leopold right in
saying we need to adopt a land ethic? First we
need to identify what a land ethic is. A land
ethic is using the land without abusing it.
Meaning use as many and as much of the earth s
resources as can be replaced, and that will do no
harm to surrounding habitats because the organisms
that live there are part of the land or ecosystem
also. To do this kind of conservation at this
extent after we have done virtually nothing for
