RE: Scott Nearing

Truth-teller extraordinaire! The observations that I read on this site regarding the contrasts between Scott and Helen are most interesting. I found it most ironic that Scott during his life was sickened by our culture's addiction to machinery and war. At one point he just refused to drive a car! And most everyone knows how precious Helen died --- in a stinking car crash!!!

I have experimented with a carless life by buying a folding British bicycle and riding public transportation while I lived in Atlanta, GA for several years. There were many benefits and so many negatives. The system is hell-bent on preventing individuals from bypassing the single-occupancy-vehicle addiction in this kulture of ours.

Scott represents to me what a truth-teller really is. He spoke the truth and suffered dearly as a result. What a profoundly courageous individual. I love him very much, and I miss his courageous witness tremendously. Interesting how there is so little mention of him in the military-industrial-corporate-corrupt megamachine's press these daze......
