An interesting and informative history of a product of human gluttony and greed, the exploitation incurred and endured. As usual very well written.

Indeed, much of human history is written by these impulses, is it not?

A well-nigh perfect essay. I can't imagine any bases you didn't touch on! After I write this comment, I'm going to re-read it, especially about the polders of Guyana.. Amazing.

As usual, your art is also wonderful!
