It was ugly what he did - especially since he was getting disability at the time!

He's strong enough to hike his fat ass around with the scouts, and push boulders off their narrow pedestals, but he's too disabled to work?


On the other hand, I hate to see his actions put into the category of "destroying nature". He pushed over one smallish boulder, and moved it a few meters. The boulder i's no longer as appealing, but nothing except our aesthetic enjoyment of it, has been destroyed. Nature is just fine with it. The boulder had no special symbolic significance, (it wasn't the "Boulder of Liberty", or some such), and aesthetically, it couldn't be rated higher than "small".

If he had dumped out a bucket of DDT, into a stream, THAT would be quite destructive to nature. Pushing over a boulder is offensive, but not "destroying nature".

This "Queen's Head" is far more appealing than other hoodoo's I've seen.
