SA:  For the airliners it's the sight of them and the
lines they draw in the sky, it takes away from the
ideal natural experience that some people are striving
for when they walk deep into certain wilderness
regions.  Nothing bad or immoral about airliners and
they lines they draw in the sky, it's the fact that
having an experience on this earth without them, that
quiet, deep quiet where the spontaneity isn't
disturbed, even the slightest.  I've been deep in the
wilderness, and upon return to civilization, it is not
disturbing in a bad way that I'm referring to, it's
the static human patterns, that even in the slightest
way may interfer and make one think about all the
relations interlocked just by seeing that planes smoke
trails in the sky and that's what I would like to
avoid from time to time to allow for me to get beyond
the static patterns of people, to focus on my static
patterns, to get beyond them, and then allow the
dynamic wilderness experience to sprout something
unexpected.  I would need a place for this.  It's not
all mental.
