[at-l] Why do people repeat the same behavior, and expect different result...

[thornel at attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

Interesting. I just got back from a little section in the North 
Georgia mountains and attempting to educate some folks about LNT 
hiking as a way of showing gratitude for God's Creation.

I still haven't found it useful to deify MacKaye or any other 20th 
century man. The few who have found this a good idea are also opposed 
to the concept of HYOH.
