Status Updates From Le printemps silencieux

As crude a weapon as the cave man's club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life - a fabric delicate & destructible, yet miraculously tough & resilient, and capable of striking back in unexpected ways. These extraordinary capacities of life have been ignored by the practitioners of chemical control who have brought to their task no humility before the vast forces with which they tamper

Life is a miracle beyond our comprehension, and we should reverence it even where we have to struggle against it... The resort to weapons such as insecticides to control it is a proof of insufficient knowledge and of an incapacity so to guide the processes of nature that brute force becomes unnecessary. Humbleness is in order; there is no need for scientific conceit here.
