![]() One is the rafting guide, Seldom Seen Smith, a Mormon with questionable morals and marginal commitments to the Church of LSD, oops I mean LDS. It is hard not to cheer them on along the way even though it is obvious from the beginning they are on a quixotic mission.ĭuring a white water rafting trip in Utah, four trickster-type individuals start drinking by their campfire and talk about how great it would be to sabotage all the industrial development taking place across the American Southwest. Instead of doing that, he wrote a counter-cultural novel called The Monkey Wrench Gang and it is all about people who blow things up. Edward Abbey was certainly paying attention to the destruction of nature and he felt like blowing things up. But really, if you haven’t fantasized about blowing something up at some point in your life, you’re probably not paying much attention to what’s happening in the world. Besides, my weapon-making skills are non-existent, I’m clumsy, have shaky hands, and can’t tell the difference between saltpetre and cialis so you wouldn’t want to be near me while I’m carrying a box of high-powered explosives. I don’t want to end up in jail and it probably wouldn’t do much to make the world a better place in the long run anyways. Who hasn’t felt like blowing things up from time to time? I know I have, not that I would actually do something like that. ![]()
