What makes you think any one group is any more responsible for leaving trash on the trails ? Where I hike I see the same trash on the trails and these are hiking trails only. It's not unusual to hike in 6-8 miles and find beer bottles and cans, candy wrappers, plastic bottles, empty propane cylinders and anything else you can imagine. I just can't figure out how someone can manage to hike in with a case of beer but can't carry the empties out. Some people are just slobs, the method of transportation does not matter. It is a few bad apples that ruin things for everyone else. > |

He didn't call him a pussy because he got ****ed off. He called him a pussy because getting ****ed off (and posting to Usenet, I guess) was all that he apparently did. If such a thing happened to my neighbor's fields, he'd call the cops, and they'd damn well solve the problem. Like others, I can't conceive of a rural community where this problem would not be adequately dealt with if brought to the attention of law enforcement. Perhaps OP is an absentee gentleman hobby-farmer? |

The Nazis were not in the least socialist, no matter what their name says; in fact, socialists and other leftists were very much a persecuted group under the Nazi regime. |

Trail(er) trash and Nature Nazis
Oh boy are we getting way off topic however...
I don't claim to be an expert on the Nazis, but among other unsavory things they were they WERE socialists. A few points, Nazi's promoted the limiting of profits, abolishment of rent and increasing social benefits, all socialist ideas. There is an excellent essay from Nobel Prize winner Friedrich A. Hayek titled "The Socialist Roots of Nazism" http://lamar.colostate.edu/~grjan/hayeknaziism.html I suspect that the reason that it's commonly accepted that Nazism isn't really socialism is because the Socialists are (correctly) terrified to be connected with Nazism in any way and react very strongly to any suggestion that Nazism was socialist. In other words it's not politically correct to link the two... but then I'm not politically correct!

Everybody now knows how evil Nazi eugenics we How all sorts of people
were exterminated not because of anything they had done but simply because of the way they had been born. And we have all heard how disastrous were the Nazi efforts to build up the "master race" through selective breeding of SS men with the best of German women -- the "Lebensborn" project. Good leftists today recoil in horror from all that of course and use their "Hitler was a conservative" mantra to load those evils onto conservatives. But Hitler was a socialist. As he himself said: "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."
