The problem with environmental protection laws is not that they make people lose their jobs or livelihood, although this certainly happens. One could argue, however, that at least as many jobs are created by these regulations as lost. Whether trading one's job as a logger for that of a logging cop is a step upward is, of course, debatable. In fact, Easterbrook decries mysticism as he embraces his own flavor. Here are some of the myths he disses.
Nature is fragile.
If we don't watch out, we will break it. Nature is benign. Tell that to an insect being eaten by a frog, or to that same frog being eaten by an eagle. Being on top of the food chain sort of gets you out of touch with the realities of Nature. This would probably be cured if we were visited by space aliens that liked Human croquettes or Baby Parmegani.
