Document Summary
Q: long answer question on desiring wilderness on the final. Too many cars, too many people overcrowding = pollution. City is not nature, humans created the city. Chicago represented all that was most unnatural about human life. Imaging what was there before the city imagine that something was once beautiful was a cancer on an otherwise beautiful landscape . City is making them define the country look at the city, to define the country. I began to see that the word city depended for its meaning on its opposition to the word. Unpleasant as it might be to admit, the city helped define might even be essential to what i and others felt about the country. My passion for rural and wild landscapes would have lost at least some of its focus without my dislike for chicago to serve as a counterpoint.
