I wonder why.... Your right to pursue happiness (which, BTW, doesn't need
to be pursued -- it comes naturally to people who live in harmony with
nature) ends where it damages things that society values. It's also the
ultimate stupidity to engage in an activity that destroys its own reason
for being -- the beauty of nature.

To your eyes. Actually, you destroy the desert version of topsoil, setting
back the plants & animals in the area DECADES.
