7. How can you disagree with Kermit?

I used to ride my bike to Sierra Club meetings where a bunch of older wealthy white people would talk about their vacations to "unspoiled" places around the globe with zero awareness that it was their own culture that was spoiling places.



I quit the Sierra Club in the 'eighties.

Gentrification in urban areas is a similar problem. The wealthy empty people flock to the places that are not empty, displacing the non-empty people, creating new places of very expensive banality.

Nobody on the planet is so dangerous as a bored and boring millionaire or billionaire.

Sorry Kermit, you sold out.
