Chapter Eight

On page 81, Mr. Strawbridge says to Tyler, "You see, where people go, their needs and desires come first.  Alligators, plume birds, panthers, mosquitoes -- they have no place in civilization"

How do you feel about this statement?  Do you agree or disagree?  Please explain in detail why you feel the way you do.
