"We have before us two paths, one that ignores the true benefits of open space and leads to ever greater instability, poorer economic opportunity, and possibly system destruction. The other path honors the human role within the greater ecological scheme of the earth and in so doing offers a brighter promise for the human experiment." Stephen Miller
