Implementing Democracy 1.01 in Iran

The story of the forests in New Hampsire is a fascinating one. I remember reading a book in college for a human ecology class called "Changes In The Land" that covered this topic in detail. It was my favorite book in college. I need to dig it out of the basement and re-read it.

But the story of a renewable resource like a forest doesn't apply to mineral and oil deposits. Those materials may be renewable in a geological time frame, but not in a human time frame. Once we use them, they will be gone.
