…the 270 million bombs both "trampled" the land and then indeed prevented the land from further colonial exploitation afterward…
(*back to my ‘the art of touching the ground’/the bombs are protecting the land in an irony way)
…How much cleaning/mining you allow will be your critique of both the past abuses and the abuse inherent in raw, unmitigated colonial/capitalist exploitation

Brian Goldstein_
…making the gold companies into your "landscape architects"
(*the digging and reconstructing idea)
Don't necessarily take the Australians' presence as a given--work with it… (maybe) there is no one else who can do it and you must work around them, but your goal is to make their presence positive
