Florida

I read an article about the destruction of orchid habitat brought about by the housing boom in Florida. I had to stop and consider what would motivate a person in search of natural beauty and warm Gulf breezes to destroy that very premise in the making of a community "fit" for living.

The best I could do to summarize the experience was a cowardly resort to ad hominem.

Florida is full of scared, aging white men with guns who pay no mind to the world around them but rather to the World that charges admission to see a denatured houseguest version of nature do tricks for entertainment.
