Is nature for us or against us?

Don't get down on yourself!
Times have changed!
Global warming & chem overload in the environment, plus the intro of exotic bugs... (god damned jap beetles) how can we win?
I've tried to go organic for the last 5 years. Next year I'm spraying the **** outta everything!
This year I got no cherries, no netarines, no plums, no grapes, a handfull of plums, a few figs & 5 gal of apples.

I was in one of the prettiest areas around here once the fork of a local river nice tree filled valley. Why was i there- to work. yep men decided that was the place to put a nasty yuk bucket known as a petroleum refinery. A nasty piece of work kills the dirt deader than a doornail. went down to an old delapidated storage shed to get some material one day and what do you think i saw. Barely any sun found it's way in yet there it was a weed proudly penetrating the dominance of mans efforts. the moral of this story is as i read this thread i find most men guilty of the same thing thinking they are more signifigant than they are you see nature is one thing if nothing else and that is relentless never lets up not even for an instant. If all men disapeared tomorrow in 500 years it would take a fairly close examination to see his tracks in a thousand years only the clues would be left and they may need to be unearthed to find. we are nothing compared to nature. our manipulations are insignifigant to her. don't over estimate our impact.
