    We"? I certainly never approved any logging operations, nor did I agree to deforestation of fauna habitats

    Well, if you didn’t vote Green then you have given implied consent and delegateed that authority to your representative…

        They didn’t. The author of the article didn’t. It’s weird that you’re taking this so personally.

          “Well, if you didn’t…”

          According to the English language, one would take the “We have betrayed its gentle curiousity” as including everyone.

          Also, when the commenter uses “Well if you didn’t”, as directed at who they were replying to, which was me.

          It’s weird that you’ve just randomly jumped in guns blazing without reading the article or the comment above.
