I agree very much with this principal as well but I think Humans as a race are too dense to understand it.
We cant make anything out of wood because the treehuggers get upset.
We cant wear anything made of an animal because the vegans get upset.
We cant burn any fuel that we grow because the advocates for the poor get upset.
And we cant use any of our sustainable mineral resources because the greens get upset.
There is no solution.
