It seems the new tool. man/woman-kind invents (more powerful bulldozers, 
for example) results in a further unnecessary disruption of the Earth. 
It baffles me why there is the need to waste energy to create a very 
sterile looking environment. I think the answer is that most people find 
a neatly mowed road shoulder more attractive than one with natural 
vegetation and flowers. Since we are in the minority I guess that is the 
reason why things keep getting mowed. I don't buy the fire hazard argument.
