Why does Ms. Wente always see the glass half-empty?  Not satisfied with complaining about political correctness, or what she sees as dangerous progressive ideas, now she has expanded to attack nature and the wilderness.

The "excessive romanticization of nature" is a product of glossy brochures marketed to urbanized populations who lost touch with it.  But the effectiveness point to our innate yearnings, and the true nature of our selves: we are animals, we are products of nature despite whatever warped ideas we may produce at times, so we always end up being drawn to it.

But it seems that some only want the visuals of beautiful sunsets under expansive skies, the soothing quiet of majestic forests but are otherwise not prepared to accept the inconvenience of uneven ground, cold and rain, nor risk.

Those only want to take benefits for themselves, don't accept things for what they truly are, both good and bad.  No perspective, no tolerance, no sense of responsibility.  They just troll.
