Ravenous Corbid

(musings from an upstart crow)

Selfish bastards

November 14, 2003 by Corbid Ravenous

People want to live in the desert. So they destroy the desert so that they can go live in it. And then drive its inhabitants into the city, where they’re ill equipped to survive. Really rather terrible. But I suppose they have a nice view, or whatever.

Catkillers.
