Comments on: Was The 20th Century A Mistake? http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/was-the-20th-century-a-mistake/ Reflections of a working writer and reader Sat, 19 May 2012 08:23:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: john baker http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/was-the-20th-century-a-mistake/comment-page-1/#comment-115783 john baker Sat, 23 Apr 2011 07:33:15 +0000 http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/?p=2529#comment-115783 Hi Bruce and thanks for the comment. I think Herzog was saying something else about our existence and us as people. Our exploitation and destruction of natural environments is, by any measure, an obscenity. In this piece he was concerned to raise our consciousness about this. Hi Bruce and thanks for the comment. I think Herzog was saying something else about our existence and us as people.

What you're describing would be a travel adventure beyond my wildest dreams for example, certainly not an obscenity. ~~ it has degenerated into such an obscenity that you can go to the travel agency and book an adventure trip to New Guinea, to the headhunters, to the cannibals ~~

Maybe for you, but don’t you think that this is all relative to what your travel experiences have been? What you’re describing would be a travel adventure beyond my wildest dreams for example, certainly not an obscenity.

It's more enticing than ever and beautifully constructed. I can't afford to lapse like this again. <strong>jb says</strong>: Always nice to think of you dropping by from time to time, Kathleen.
