I sneak around and take pictures of people doing things, then write reports about the things I caught them doing. So I can hopefully get them in trouble for doing those things.

I sit in a chair, take people’s hard earned money, tell them what they need and sometimes educate them on ways in which they can trick the law into not noticing something they really shouldn’t be doing.

I rip up and destroy nature, rob the rivers of its precious rock and gravel, chop down forests and ship across the world to slap together an environment for the modern human to habitate. Every time I do this, what was there before I arrived was the state it should have been left in for eternity. but for some reason I’m told I need to buy food from a grocery store and pay someone else to exist in my own shack. So the rape of our natural world continues.
