A Channel 4 (british tv) news report has just shown footage of a World Wildlife Fund-sponsored company raping mangrove forest in Papua New Guinea. Jared Diamond is somehow involved; in between trying to grab the camera, while exiting swiftly at a local airport, he is heard to say 'So what? Much worse things happen.' and the like. Probably I'm a fucking old idiot, as my wife says, and no doubt I am. I don't know why I find this news so disturbing. After all, I'm as down on Jared 'Guns germs and Steel' Diamond (who turns out to be a fifty+ year-old with a sinister baldy haircut) as anyone can be, and I never gave a penny to WWF, not consciously anyway. Maybe it's the pictures of cheerful young Papuan New Guineans drowning their homeland for twenty bucks each, that's pissed me off. I dunno. I think it would be a good idea to close the CrashList and go get drunk forever.
