Transcript

00:00I found myself a displaced person shortly after birth, and I've been looking half my

00:08life for a place to take my stand.

00:12There was just something about Ed Abbey that really spoke to us.

00:22I regard the wilderness as my home, and when it's being invaded by clear cutters, strip

00:27miners, I feel not only the right, but the duty to defend it by any means I can.

00:39Ed and I had found this D3 patch in the construction of that stinking highway down to Colorado,

00:45so we turned the damn thing on and sent it off the cliff.

00:52A demonstration of civil disobedience played out in Salt Lake this evening.

00:56I started reading Edward Abbey when I was 18.

00:59I was old enough to understand it, but not quite old enough to realize that it wasn't

01:03a manual.

01:04Would you do it again?

01:10Everything in the biotic community was gone.

01:14I saw that I wasn't the one who was nuts.

01:18It was the very beginning of an environmental movement, but it belonged to a certain cast

01:21of people that the other people saw as threatening.

01:29People were attracted to Earth First because it really said, let's save the United States.

01:39They're not environmentalists, they're terrorists.

01:43Defending the natural world, of course you're going to bring a lot of anger and hostility

01:46towards you because there's so much money being made from destroying this planet.

01:57These are people out there that had gone through everything that they had been taught to change

02:01things in our world if you see an injustice, and it didn't work.

02:05What are we willing to do for a livable future?

02:12This is a global issue, and it's about greed and materialism, and we are all involved in

02:18guilty.

02:19Human society is like a stew.

02:20If you don't keep it stirred up, you get a lot of scum on top.

02:21Agitate.
