Natural Is Not Good

There is a series of articles I want to write on a variety of topics, if I ever get around to it, and they all sort of need this article as a basic underpinning. Rather than make the argument over and over, I would like to make it in one place and refer back to it. This point has been made by many other people many times before, but it seems to run very much counter to many popular ideologies, so it bears repeating: just because something is natural, doesn't make it good. A lot of natural things are bad, even evil. And a lot of unnatural things are good. Goodness itself is somewhat unnatural. Basing your ideology on arguments about what is natural and what isn't with the underlying subtext that natural is good is only setting yourself up for a fall as our knowledge about nature evolves.

Tour de la Gaspésie

First weekend in August, 2010, Mathieu and I took a tour around the Gaspé peninsula. We stayed in a motel in the town of Gaspé and spent a day touring around Forillon National Park, and another day in the very touristy village of Percé, home to the famous "Rocher de Percé." This formation is a natural outcropping on the cape which the ocean has drilled a hole through (depicted here).
