Once There Was A Silly Old Ram


"Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day."
--Anton Chekhov
(from "Uncle Vanya" 1897)

In 1981 Earth First! unfurled this 300 foot long plastic "crack" onto the face of Glen Canyon Dam.
