"I wish all people die and leave this place to the animals"
All people except for herself and other do-gooders? I think it is pretty arrogant and ignorant to place your own species in a different category than all other animals. In the end we are just biomass like all other fauna and flora. And we aren't the dominant species, like many like to think. Have a look at species like cockroaches, many other invertebrates and even single cell organisms and larger animals that have been around for a couple of hundred million years. We are having a hard time coping to be around for a couple of million years, if we stretch the evolution of our species..
No, that would make her just another idiot, she's dutch, not american :p
There is magic in it. Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries - stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region.
What was in the link that makes her a public enemy? Her zeal? I only saw her ideology. Shed some light pls on how she is synonymous with the bumper sticker.
She is the symbol of the wave of green terrorism we get over here and a complete animal rights moron.
A country is truly in a pityful state if a Party for Animals gets enough votes for several seats in parliament, like is happening over here (Netherlands). Thieme's ideology is that every animal used for agriculture or as a pet, is enslaved by humans. She is in the PETA category. Recreational fishing should be banned completely, not to mention hunting.
Her most recent 'gem' is trying to pass a law to put extra tax on consumption products like meat and dairy. She is a vegan, which might explain this.
Fanaticism- of whatever the choosing- often crosses over into Imposition as a means of keeping afloat one's self- strengthening of one's identity.
No one can stay in Keeping-Fanaticism-to-themselves forever because it loses it's edge, and thus the self- strengthening it provides goes flat. It is like playing chest with yourself- the reward flattens with time.
So, the evangelical aspects of any fanatic idea kicks in. Time to pimp others out as a way to pump air into this flattened balloon of self-seeking.
Fanaticism and all its motions is used as a power to give meaning.
My girl friend hunts, she is allowed to shoot roe deer (tags depending on the population), pheasant, duck (mallard), hare, rabbit and some other species with a special permit or as pest control. The tests are pretty severe and you have to have access to an permission to hunt on at least 40 hectares of interconnected field or wood. I live the least populated part of the country so we are lucky to be able to get into two small (three and five people) syndicates with a couple of hundred hectares of land. The anti-lobby is huge over here, as in most countries where the average citizen has lost every contact with nature.
Even so, I have a bumper sticker saying: 'I don't brake for Marianne Thieme'
I guess neither would I!
Anyway, not the same kind of animal lover, this one still eats meat.
I've had moments out in nature where you come across garbage, or a power line spoils a view......zillion other examples.....
.......and more than once I wished nature could just be left to it's own devices, no humans to muck it up.
Problem is the thought at that moment is "I wish I could see this place without the human impact", and no matter what, we fuck the place up in the process of getting there to see it....
Cheers
