Popular Post MoseySusan Posted June 19, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted June 19, 2021 So, here’s the scene: beyond bougie coffee house in Aspen, where everything is artisan crafted, including scented matchsticks for sale. They have a Little Lending Library box, like every community of people who value literacy and open source reading material. I check out the titles to see if there’s something I’d like to read. Nestled among the other books is Edward Abbey’s The Monkeywrench Gang, and hard bound. The eco-terrorist mentor text in the middle of the epicenter of human exploitation of the environment. How ironic. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted June 19, 2021 Share #3 Posted June 19, 2021 Is that a hard cover copy of 'Roots'? Did you check to see if it was an early edition? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted June 19, 2021 Ok, so it gets “better.” Aspen has a John Denver Nature Sanctuary with a river-side trail and rock lined riparian walkway dotted with big boulders that are inscribed with quotes by notable naturists like Rachel Carson and Edward Abbey. WT actual F. Like Abbey would ever want his words jackhammered into a non-native Boulder and placed into a fabricated landscape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted June 20, 2021 Share #11 Posted June 20, 2021 I have a suspicion that most of the people in Aspen consider themselves environmentalists, at least they do after their wilderness mansion is built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted June 20, 2021 Share #20 Posted June 20, 2021 The concept of a free lending library is perhaps the single most important step to equality in a society. Except for women. They gave up equal rights when they left home to get easier jobs and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
