McPil,
Does it strike you as strange that wilderness should require protection ? For some reason we, (humans), just don't seem to "get" the fact that wilderness is the bedrock of everything that exists. It is the ultimate reality from which we pick and choose what has "value" and toss the rest. I sometimes get a mental picture regarding the relationship of people to the wild. It is of a pyramid where we just keep chipping away at the base while piling our cultural desires higher and higher. The pyramid is quickly becoming a post that eventually will topple from lack of support. I don't feel negative or strident in my views, but I agree with your view on preserving as much wilderness as possible.
