Totally NOT what I had surmised, but much more insightful and probably =

Thank you RnR for the reply.  You've obviously spent some time on this =
one.

My next question is this:

If your assertion is correct, that people need to feel "mastery" over =
something which manifests as flagrant disregard of "city etiquette" =
while in the woods, is there a way to turn that need for mastery into =
stewardship rather than destruction (or defacement)?  To frame the =
question more clearly; Is there a way to instill a level of pride or =
mastery into the "citified folk" which manifests as care for the woods =
rather than disregard?

Thanks,
