From the Archive: An "interesting" view of natural capital

From another old blog post:

General Counsel for the Department of Defense, William Haynes II resigned yesterday. Haynes was in charge of the tribunals for Guantanamo detainees and is reported to have said:

"I said to him that if we come up short and there are some acquittals in our cases, it will at least validate the process," Davis continued. "At which point, [Haynes's] eyes got wide and he said, 'Wait a minute, we can't have acquittals. If we've been holding these guys for so long, how can we explain letting them get off? We can't have acquittals. We've got to have convictions.'"

Furthermore, he's one of the primary authors of memos supporting torture and total executive authority (essentially arguing that when the President is acting as Commander-in-Chief he get's to do whatever he wants -- regardless of the law).

But before he got around to torture and detainees Haynes offered a very interesting argument about how bombing natural capital (bird nesting sites) was good because it would increase the value of the remaining natural capital:
In this amazing brief, Haynes argued that bombing a nesting site for migratory birds would benefit birdwatchers, since “bird watchers get more enjoyment spotting a rare bird than they do spotting a common one.” Moreover, he added, the birds would benefit as well, since using their nests as a bombing range would minimize “human intrusion”. The judge’s comment on this novel line of argument: “there is absolutely no support in the law for the view that environmentalists should get enjoyment out of the destruction of natural resources because that destruction makes the remaining resources more scarce and therefore more valuable. The Court hopes that the federal government will refrain from making or adopting such frivolous arguments in the future.” (pp. 27-8)” ...

I almost never create remarks, but I browsed a lot of responses on
"From the Archive: An "interesting" view of natural capital".

I actually do have a few questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Could it be just me or do some of these comments come across like they are left by brain dead folks?
:-P And, if you are posting at additional places, I'd like to follow you. Would you post a list of the complete urls of all your social pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

As mentioned above, I cannot solo Chaos Vellum, so these mesos could be used to fund my main character farther, Maple M mesos for sale or even my second main.Moreover, for me , making mesos is the essence of the game, because it's the most effective means to receive progress in this sport (farming in certain events also functions, but can be boring and time consuming). If I'm not making mesos or other kinds of currency, then I honestly feel as if I'm doing nothing. And as mentioned previously, because boss runs will not fulfill my desire for mesos, like I was doing when I had variety I still need to merch.

The principal thing is that I no longer have hours to play regular, and if end game bosses made me a sufficient number of mesos, I could stop merching entirely and only login every Thursday to kill the bosses, and generally enjoy a more pleasurable gaming experience. The deficiency of a rewarding aspect, if you have murdered those directors, maplestory 2 mesos has to do with the fact that once you kill these supervisors, what you get is near useless. Maybe the encounter may be rewarding the very first time you kill them because you killed them, but after a while it becomes a'job', and also an unproductive one at that.
