Land Maggots - By Denise Jackson
The following was written by Denis Jackson, and Deep Green Resistance Colorado is very thankful that she has so generously allowed us to publish it here. Look for more of Denise’s writings to come. Thanks Denise! Coronado was here; I found chain mail, finely worked deep in the gravel near Comanche Springs. The road here is part of a set of claw marks, made by huge, human-made lion machines. “Why,” I asked the VIA* representative whom I had driven up the foothill dirt two track, “have you bulldozed every tree, shrub and flower in this recipe of destruction? It’s visible from my home, 20 miles away.” The cigarette-lipped man replied reluctantly, “We are making clearways, preparation for the buildings we are going to begin in this area.”
