Humans are not row plants that thrive in a domesticated setting . . .

"Humans are not row plants that thrive in a domesticated setting; we are free, wild, living in the natural world, nurturing and being nurtured by the world around us - by Mother Earth. If you want a clear demonstration of the contrast between indigenous people living matriarchally and the modern subjects of the patriarch, simply compare a wild salmon to a farm fish. Wild salmon live in deep clean water, they're fast-moving, chasing their food, surviving by being fit and healthy. Their flesh is bright-colored and firm, free of disease and parasites. Farmed salmon are pale and mushy, sickly, covered with sores, infested with worms and parasites, the victims of confinement, inactivity, unhealthy diet. Does this remind you of anyone?"
