There was a perception of me, and I earned it because I was really intense, really gruff. I treated certain people poorly at times. It was because of who I was. It was almost my strength. I came in all business. I tried to find ways to fit in with that demeanor, but it's not easy.
Indeed, our particular concept of private property, which deters us from exhausting the positive resources of the earth, favors pollution.
