The deadliest forms of stupidity are often the ugliest and the most profitable. This is because this kind of profit comes from catastrophic harm done the living places and the world, the ‘produce’ of which is then sold as if it were ‘owned’.

This kind of abuse is really only slightly less horrifying than if someone were selling parts amputated from children so impoverished as to consider this an exciting opportunity.

Rapacious acts of cowardly avarice become more aggressive every time we fail to stop them at their first move. When they succeed, they poison what it means to be human in ways that incessantly demand sustainence, distribution and replication.

In simple language this means that once you kill something as beautiful as this — or allow this form of violation to proceed — you are not likely to hesitate next time, especially when each horrifying repetition of the conversion of the living world into a wasteland results in a windfall of useless dollars in a series of bank accounts around the world.

Rape is addictive. Especially to those who, having paid for the privilege, can never be prosecuted for the results.
