complete my thesis.

My experience with deep ecologists is simply based on the personal contact
I've had with young people involved in the Green/animal rights movements.
Typically vegan, they often "borrow" Native spiritual practices while
considering themselves morally superior to those involved in animal eating
and killing - NOT exactly an articulation of h/g values! Critics of deep
ecology cite its tendency to value animal life above human life - and
because some Natives/Inuit still want to survive on hunting/trapping based
economies, they are the easiest targets when this thinking is put into
practice by large organizations like, until recently, Greenpeace.
Circumpolar Inuit must fight for their right to whale; West Coast nations
must fight to be allowed to fish, par example.

Yes, these are similar to the types I've come across.  Thanks to Ray &
Rick for pointing me toward other more paleofriendly deep ecology
thinkers.  They're on my "must-read... when thesis is finished" list. I've
always been an environmentalist at heart but the hypocrisies in the
movement have really put me off lately.
